    The Federal Trade Commission is an independent administrative agency 
which was organized in 1915 pursuant to the Federal Trade Commission Act 
of 1914 (38 Stat. 717, as amended; 15 U.S.C. 41-58). It is responsible 
for the administration of a variety of statutes which, in general, are 
designed to promote competition and to protect the public from unfair 
and deceptive acts and practices in the advertising and marketing of 
goods and services. It is composed of five members appointed by the 
President and confirmed by the Senate for terms of seven years.
