Answer 2

In Harrison Bergeron, the function of the agents is to ensure equality among all people.

To this end, they are responsible for handicapping every individual. These agents are also responsible for making sure the handicapping laws are being followed. When the laws are not being followed -- if George were to remove some of the weights around his neck, for example -- the agents would punish him for breaking the law.
