The office of the United States Attorney for the Southern Dis—
trict of California was established in Los Angeles in 1950. By an
Act of Congress, July 27, 1866, the district was abolished and
merged with the dorthern District of California, with headquarters
in Stn Francisco. On August 5, 1896, Congress recreated the
Southern District, Yith headquarters in Los Angeles. By another
.Act of Congress on Key 29, 1900, the Southern District was divided

. into the Worthcrn and southern Divisions. In 1929, Congress created
three divisions within the district: the Northern Division, com-
prising Inyo, Mnriposa, Merced, Madern, Fresno, Kings, Kern and
Tulmre counties; the Central Division, comprising Los Angelcs, Sen
Bcrnardino, Riverside, San Luis Obispo, Orange, Santa Darbara and
Venture counties; and the Southern Division, comprising San Diego
