The Office of Inspector General conducts and supervises audits,
evaluations and investigations designed to: (1) promote economy,
efficiency, and effectiveness and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse in
Departmental programs and operations; and (2) keep the Secretary and the
Congress fully and currently informed of problems and deficiencies in
the administration of Departmental programs and operations. The audit
function provides program audit, contract audit and financial statement
audit services. Contract audits provide professional advice to agency
contracting officials on accounting and financial matters relative to
negotiation, award, administration, repricing, and settlement of
contracts. Program audits review and audit all facets of agency
operations. Financial statement audits assess whether financial
statements fairly present the agency's financial condition and results
of operations, the adequacy of accounting controls, and compliance with
laws and regulations. These audits contribute significantly to improved
financial management by helping Treasury managers identify improvements
needed in their accounting and internal control systems. The evaluations
function reviews program performance and issues critical to the mission
of the Department and provides advisory services to program managers.
The investigative function provides for the detection and investigation
of improper and illegal activities involving programs, personnel, and
operations. This appropriation also provides for the oversight of
internal investigations made by the Offices of Internal Affairs and
Inspection in the Bureau of ATF, the Customs Service, and the Secret
Service, and internal audits and internal investigations of the
Inspection Service at IRS.
The Inspectors General Auditor Training Institute provides the
necessary facilities, equipment, and support services for conducting

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has responsibility
for implementing Treasury anti-money laundering regulations through
administration of the Bank Secrecy Act, 31 U.S.C. section 5311, et seq.,
and serves as a United States Government source for the systematic
collation and analysis of information to assist in the investigation of
money laundering and other financial crimes. FinCEN implements these
responsibilities through analytical and technological platforms geared
to combat money laundering through (1) prevention--using its regulatory
authority in partnership with the financial sector; (2) detection--
combining technology with
[[Page 844]]
all-source intelligence to identify both underlying criminal financial
activity as well as emerging trends and patterns of domestic and
international money laundering; and (3) enforcement--empowering other
agencies at the Federal, State, local, and international levels to take
action against financial criminals through the transfer of information
and expertise.

The Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of
1994 established the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund
(CDFI Fund). The CDFI Fund provides equity investments, grants, loans,
and technical assistance to new and existing community development
financing institutions such as community development banks, community
development credit unions, community development loan funds, community
development venture capital funds, and micro-loan funds. Funds provided
by the CDFI Fund will enhance the capacity of these institutions to
finance economic development, housing, and community development in
distressed urban and rural communities. The CDFI Fund also provides
grants to insured depository institutions to facilitate investment in
community development financial institutions and increase community
lending activities.
The CDFI Fund helps to address the urgent problems of declining
economic and social infrastructure, loss of jobs, lack of private
enterprise, and deteriorating housing facing many American communities
today. Government investment and technical assistance supplements
private funds and expertise to ensure that community development
financial institutions are effective in restoring healthy economic
development to these communities.

Matching funds in primaries.--Upon certification by the Federal
Election Commission, every candidate eligible to receive payments is
entitled to an amount equal to the contributions each has received on or
after the beginning of the calendar year immediately preceding the
election year.
Nominating conventions of parties.--Upon certification by the
Commission, payments may be made to the national committee of a major
party or a minor party which elects to receive its entitlement. The
total of such payments will be limited to the amount in the account at
the time of payment. The national committee of each party may receive
payments beginning on July 1 of the year immediately preceding the
calendar year in which a presidential nominating convention of the
political party is held. The two major parties will receive $4 million
each, plus a cost-of-living increase.
Candidates for general elections.--The eligible candidates of each
major party in a presidential election will be entitled to equal
payments in an amount which, in the aggregate, shall not exceed $20
million each, plus a cost-of-living increase.
Also, provision is made for new parties, minor parties and
candidates, who may receive in excess of 5 percent of the popular vote
and therefore be entitled to reimbursement of qualified campaign
expenditures.

The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to deal in gold and
foreign exchange and other instruments of credit and securities as
deemed necessary, consistent with U.S. obligations in the International
Monetary Fund (IMF), regarding orderly exchange arrangements. An
Exchange Stabilization Fund, with a capital of $200 million, is
authorized by law for this purpose (31 U.S.C. 5302). All earnings and
interest accruing to this fund are available for the purposes thereof.
Transactions in special drawing rights (SDR's) and U.S. holdings of
SDR's are administered by the fund. U.S. drawings from the IMF are also
advanced to the fund.
The principal sources of the fund's income have been profits on
foreign exchange transactions, interest on foreign exchange swap
transactions, and on investments held by the fund, including interest
earned on fund holdings of U.S. Government securities.
The amounts reflected in the 1997 and 1998 estimates entail only
projected net interest earnings on Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF)
assets. The estimates are subject to considerable variance, as the
amount and composition of assets can change dramatically, as well as
interest rates applied to investments. In addition, exchange rate
fluctuations can cause the dollar value of income received on foreign
currency and SDR investments to fluctuate. Moreover, estimates make no
attempt to forecast valuation gains or losses on SDR holdings or
realized gains or losses on foreign currency holdings. As required by
Public Law 95-612, the fund no longer is used to meet the administrative
expenses.

This account provides for the acquisition, construction,
improvements, equipment, furnishings and related costs for expansion and
maintenance of facilities of the Federal Law Enforcement Training
Center.
This includes funding for the Facilities Master Plan, Minor
Construction and Maintenance, Firearms Environmental Restoration and
Reconstruction, Environmental Compliance, and installation of Fiber
Optics. The Master Plan provides the long range blueprint for expansion
of facilities to meet the training requirements of the over 70
participating agencies. Minor construction and maintenance provides
alterations and maintenance funding for approximately 300 buildings at
two locations (Glynco, Georgia and Artesia, New Mexico). The Firearms
Environmental Restoration and Reconstruction funds the clean-up of the
existing outdoor ranges and reconstruction. The Environmental Compliance
funds are to ensure compliance with EPA and State environmental laws and
regulations. The fiber optics funding is to replace the existing
antiquated twisted copper wire with a state-of-the-art
telecommunications cable system.
The $11 million sought in this account, along with the $21 million
funding sought from the Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund, demonstrates
the President's commitment to an important step in completing and
maintaining the necessary facilities at FLETC to train our Nation's law
enforcement personnel.

The Interagency Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force (ICDE) Program
consists of 9 regional task forces which consolidate the resources and
expertise of 11 member Federal agencies, in cooperation with State and
local investigators and prosecutors, to target and destroy major
narcotic trafficking and money laundering organizations. The portion of
the ICDE funds previously appropriated to the Department of Justice for
Treasury law enforcement bureaus participating in the program are now
being sought as part of the Department of the Treasury's budget.
Treasury plans to continue its participation in ICDE as it has in the
past; however, the program will be administered by Treasury's
Departmental Offices. Treasury participates in the task force activities
through direct investigative and support activities of task forces,
focusing on the disruption of drug trafficking controlled by various
organized crime enterprises.

Financial Operations.--Payments are made through six regional
offices for Federal civilian agencies, except the U.S. Postal Service,
the U.S. Marshals Service, and certain Government corporations. These
disbursing services are provided through the timely issuance of checks,
and electronic funds transfer (EFT) payments. This activity is
responsible for processing EFT claims, for promoting the use of
electronics in the payment process, and for providing full field
representation for other functional areas of the Service. This activity
is also responsible for the control and financial integrity of the
Federal payments and collections processes including conducting
reconciliation, accounting, and claims activities. It adjudicates and
settles claims against the United States resulting from instances in
which Government checks have been forged, lost, stolen, destroyed, or
mutilated, and collects moneys from those parties having liability to
the United States through fraudulent or otherwise improper negotiation
of Government checks. Financial Operations ensures the integrity of the
Government's financial accounting, reporting, and financing services and
financial accounting and reporting systems to the Federal Government and
its agents, who participate in the payments and collections processes.
Additionally, this activity provides financial services for the D.C.
Government loan account and provides for payment of domestic and
international claims. It also provides debt collection operational
services to client agencies through a network linking its own debt
collection expertise and capabilities with those of FMS's Regional
Financial Centers, Federal program agencies' Debt Collection Centers,
private sector collection agencies, and the Department of Justice. These
services provide the Federal Government with consolidated management of
delinquent debt in order to improve the collection of such debt.
Available services include collection of delinquent accounts, post-
judgment enforcement, consolidation of information reported to credit
bureaus, reporting for discharged debts or vendor payments, Federal
Employee Salary Offset Hearings, mortgage servicing, collection of
unclaimed financial assets, and disposition of foreclosed property.
Federal Finance.--This activity provides direction, leadership, and
technical guidance for managing the Federal Government's cash and credit
management programs. It is responsible for the development,
implementation, and dissemination of tools, regulations, standards, and
guidelines affecting all aspects of the Government's cash and credit
management programs. The major focus is on (1) development and
evaluation of cash, credit and asset management techniques, and (2)
credit management training, to minimize the cost and maximize the
effectiveness of the Federal Government's financial management. In
addition, this activity oversees compensation made to commercial
depositories for the processing services they provide to the Government
in collecting and accounting of Federal Tax Deposits.
Agency Support.--This activity provides leadership and guidance for
administrative and financial activities that enable the Service to
manage programs and resources effectively. It is responsible for all
internal FMS accounting, auditing, program review, budget and financial
operations, financial systems, and facilities and personnel functions.
This activity also encompasses the Service's legal, planning, and
legislative and public affairs needs. Top management and the Service's
Chief Financial Officer are also included under this activity. In
addition, this activity is responsible for overseeing the development,
implementation, and operation of information and financial management
systems. It is responsible for automated data processing (ADP)
operations and the associated computer support necessary to maintain the
Service's internal and Government-wide systems. Specific functions
include operating and maintaining all central facility computer systems
and data communications mechanisms, scheduling and processing
development and production workloads, in-
[[Page 855]]
stalling and tuning operating system software, planning and coordinating
hardware installations, providing user support services, and acquiring
ADP and telecommunications equipment, software, services and supplies.

acquired by the RTC, and annual contributions by the Federal Home Loan
Banks. If these payment sources are insufficient to cover all interest
costs, funds appropriated to the Treasury shall be used to meet the

Loan guarantee financing accounts receive various payments and fees
and make payments on defaults. When cash balances result from an excess
of receipts over outlays, these balances are deposited at the Treasury
and earn interest. This account pays such interest to credit loan
guarantee financing accounts from the general fund of the Treasury in
accordance with section 505(c) of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990.
The estimates of interest paid by this fund are derived from the
estimates of interest received in the various financing accounts.

The Energy Security Reserve was created principally to finance the
activities of the U.S. Synthetic Fuels Corporation. Public Law 99-190
rescinded the balance of unobligated funds available to the Corporation.
The Act left $10 million in the Reserve for the Corporation's
liquidation and $400 million for a Clean Coal Technology Demonstration
program, which has been transferred to a new account in the Department
of Energy. The Act also transferred responsibility for ongoing projects
of the Corporation to the Secretary of the Treasury; these projects'
activities and financing will continue to be displayed in this account.

This account finances programs to aid commercial production of
alcohol and other fuels from crops and crop waste, timber, animal and
timber waste, and other forms of biomass and urban waste activities, as
authorized under Title II of the Energy Security Act.
Administrative provisions enacted in 1989 for the Department of
Energy allow the Department of Energy to retain in this account any
funds brought into its Alcohol Fuels Loan Guarantee Program, either
through (1) sale of assets the Government has acquired through loan
default and foreclosure, or (2) repayments made on a loan for which the
Department of Energy has become the direct lender by paying the
guarantee on a defaulted loan. These retained funds will be held in a
reserve against the possibility of further guaranteed loan defaults. The
Department of Energy will also be able to use unobligated funds from its
Alternative Fuels Production account to pay the guaranteed portion of
defaults if the need arises, and if those funds are not needed by the
Alternative Fuels Production program. In 1993, $44 million was
transferred to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) to offset
approximately half of EIA's budget authority requirements.

This fund was established as a permanent, indefinite appropriation
in order to maintain adequate funding of the Check Forgery Insurance
Fund (Fund). The Fund will facilitate timely payments for replacement
Treasury checks necessitated due to a claim of forgery. The Fund will
recoup disbursements through reclamations made against banks negotiating
forged checks.
To reduce hardships sustained by payees of Government checks that
have been stolen and forged, settlement is made in advance of the
receipt of funds from the endorsers of the checks through reclamation
procedures by this office. If the U.S. Treasury is unable to recover
funds, the account sustains the loss.

The Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-233) authorized
such sums as necessary to be appropriated to the Secretary of the
Treasury for payment to the Farm Credit System Financial Assistance
Corporation (FAC).
Treasury payments annually reimburse the FAC for interest expense on
FAC debt, which is authorized to be issued through 1992. Treasury is
authorized to pay all or part of FAC interest for the first 10 years on
each 15-year FAC debt issuance. Debt proceeds are used to provide
assistance to financially troubled Farm Credit System lending
institutions.
The Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 provided that the Farm Credit
System's share of interest assessment for FAC debt would increase if the
System's retained earnings exceeded five percent of its assets. For
1996, 1997 and 1998, the Treasury portion of interest assessments was
estimated at 13, 9 and 7 percent respectively.

The Federal Financing Bank (FFB) was created in 1973 to ensure the
coordination of Federal and federally assisted borrowing from the public
in a manner least disruptive to private financial markets and
institutions. Prior to that time, many agencies borrowed directly from
the private market to finance credit programs involving lending to the
public. With the implementation of the Federal Credit Reform Act in
1992, however, such agencies simply finance loan programs through direct
loan financing accounts that borrow directly from the Treasury.
Therefore, FFB loans are now used primarily to finance direct agency
activities such as resolution of failed thrift institutions by the
deposit insurance agencies, construction of Federal buildings by the
General Services Administration, and meeting the financing requirements
of the U.S. Postal Service. In certain cases, the FFB finances Federal
direct loans to the public that would otherwise be made by private
lenders and fully guaranteed by a Federal agency.
Lending by the FFB is set at \1/8\ percent above Treasury rates and
may take one of three forms, depending on the authorizing statutes
pertaining to a particular agency or program: (1) the FFB may purchase
agency financial assets; (2) the FFB may acquire debt securities that
the agency is otherwise authorized to issue to the public; and (3) the
FFB may originate direct loans on behalf of an agency by disbursing
loans directly to private borrowers and receiving repayments from the
private borrower on behalf of the agency. Because law requires that
transactions by the FFB be treated as a means of financing agency
obligations, the budgetary effect of the third type of transaction is
reflected in the budget in the following sequence: a loan by the FFB to
the agency, a loan by the agency to a private borrower, a repayment by a
private borrower to the agency, and a repayment by the agency to the
FFB.
The following table shows the annual net lending by the FFB by
agency and program and the amount of loans outstanding at the end of
each year. For 1996, the table reflects the exchange of $7.9 billion in
FFB loans to the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Postal Service for
Treasury securities of equal present value held by the Civil Service
Retirement and Disability Trust Fund, which were then immediately
redeemed with Treasury. The reduced amounts of debt held by the FFB are
reflected in the net lending amounts in the table for the TVA and the
Postal Service.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is a law enforcement
organization within the United States Department of the Treasury with
unique responsibilities dedicated to reducing violent crime, collecting
revenue, and protecting the public. ATF enforces the Federal laws and
regulations relating to alcohol, tobacco, firearms, explosives, and
arson by working directly and in cooperation with others to: (1)
Suppress and prevent crime and violence through enforcement, regulation,
and community outreach, (2) ensure fair and proper revenue collection,
(3) provide fair and effective industry regulation, (4) support and
assist Federal, State, local, and international law enforcement, and (5)
provide innovative training programs in support of enforcement and
regulatory functions.
The Bureau has changed its activities from Regulatory and Criminal
with eight programs (Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) to three
activities: (1) Reduce Violent Crime; (2) Collect Revenue; and (3)
Protect the Public. The following new performance measures, outcomes and
outputs move toward fulfilling requirements of the Government
Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). This new structure moves the
Bureau in the direction of fulfilling the Bureau's overall strategies,
as well as short and long-term goals.

This appropriation is requested to provide full funding for the cost
of designing and building a new ATF National Laboratory Center and FIRE
Research facility.
The current National Laboratory Center is located at an inadequate
site. The relocation of the Laboratory Center to a new site will allow
ATF to support its increased emphasis on firearms and explosives
regulation and enforcement as well as to better perform its regulatory
functions related to alcohol and tobacco. Nearly 90 percent of the
current facility does not meet EPA and OSHA health and safety standards.
The Congress has already appropriated funds to initiate the relocation.
The Fire Investigation Research and Development (FIRE) Center will
be co-located with ATF's forensic laboratory. This FIRE facility will
provide law enforcement agencies with access to a single facility for
scientific research and forensics support into the causes and
characteristics of uncontrolled fires.
The Administration also seeks authority to transfer funds to this
account for relocation of ATF's headquarters facilities.

Inspection and control.--In enforcing the provisions of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended, the Inspection and Control activity must: (1)
stop the illegal entry of drugs and other prohibited items and enforce
export laws while accommodating the law-abiding persons and cargo
entering this country; (2) augment selectivity of Customs inspectional
enforcement programs through improved techniques and equipment; (3)
process persons and cargo entering this country; and (4) open new ports
of entry and expand service at existing ports to meet the needs of the
traveling and importing public.
Enforcement.--Operating under the authority of titles 19 and 26,
U.S. Code, this program investigates violations of laws and regulations
enforced by Customs. These investigations support national enforcement
efforts to combat narcotics smuggling, economic crime, and national
security violations. Investigative areas include the smuggling of
narcotics, child pornography and other prohibited materials, trade
fraud, money laundering, and the illegal exports of critical technology
and arms. Also, Customs has the ability to detect, sort, intercept,
track, and apprehend the air and vessel smuggler, despite the
continually shifting narcotics and contraband smuggling threat.
Tariff and Trade.--The Tariff and Trade program administers the
commercial activities of the Customs Service under the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended. These activities include: (1) assessing and collecting
duties, taxes, and fees on imported merchandise; (2) providing efficient
service to the trade community; (3) protecting domestic industry and
jobs from illegal and unfairly subsidized imports; (4) accurately
collecting and reporting import and export statistics; (5) managing
Customs regulatory audit and laboratory analyses of imports; and (6)
enforcing the laws of other Federal agencies and numerous international
agreements.

Law 656, August 4, 1950 (31 U.S.C. 181), which requires the Bureau to be
reimbursed by customer agencies for all costs of manufacturing products
and services performed. The Bureau is also authorized to assess amounts
to acquire capital equipment and provide for working capital needs.
Bureau operations during 1996 resulted in an increase to retained
earnings of $3.9 million.

The United States Mint manufactures coins, sells numismatic and
investment products, and provides for security and asset protection.
Public Law 104-52, dated November 19, 1995, enacted 5136, of Subchapter
III of chapter 51 of subtitle IV of title 31, United States Code
established the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund. The new fund
encompasses the previous Salaries and Expenses, Coinage Profit Fund,
Coinage Metal Fund, and the Numismatic Public Enterprise Fund. The Mint
submits annual audited business-type financial statements to the
Secretary of the Treasury and to Congress in support of the operations
of the revolving fund. The Office of Management and Budget and the
Department of the Treasury are working on Performance Based Organization
proposals throughout the Department, including one for the Mint.
The operations of the Mint are divided into three major activities:
Circulating Coinage, Protection, and Numismatic and Investment Products.
Beginning in 1997, the Capital Investments line is no longer identified
as a separate budget activity in order to better align the GPRA/
budgetary reporting with the Mint's Strategic Plan. The Mint is credited
with receipts from its circulating coinage operations that are equal to
the cost of producing and distributing coins, which is the sum of its
operating expense and a charge for depreciation of capital assets. The
difference between these receipts and the face value of the coins is
profit, which is deposited as seigniorage in the general fund. In 1996
the Mint generated a profit of $587 million. Any seigniorage used to
finance the Mint's capital acquisitions is recorded as budget authority
in the year that funds are obligated for this purpose, and as receipts
over the life of the asset.
Circulating Coinage.--This activity funds the manufacture of
circulating coins as determined by public demand. In 1998, resources for
this activity will allow the Mint to produce 20.5 billion coins. In 1996
with the merger of the former Coinage Metal Fund into the Mint Public
Enterprise Fund, the Mint began including the cost of metal in the
Circulating Coinage activity.
Numismatic and Investment Products.--This activity funds the
manufacture of numismatic and bullion coins, medals, and other products
for sale to collectors and the general public. These coins include
annual recurring programs such as
[[Page 870]]
proof and uncirculated sets, silver proof coins, the American Eagle gold
and silver bullion uncirculated and proof coins, and national and
historic medals. The activity also includes nonrecurring programs for
coins and medals which are legislated to commemorate specific events or
individuals. In 1998 this activity will fund the following new
commemorative coin programs: Black Revolutionary War Patriots/Crispus
Attacks, National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, and Robert F.
Kennedy Memorial.
Protection.--This activity funds protection of the Government's
stock of gold and silver bullion, coins, Mint employees and visitors,
plant facilities and equipment, and all other Mint property against
abuse, theft, damage, disorders, and all other unsafe or illegal
practices by utilizing police officers and modern protective devices.

INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE
The mission of the Internal Revenue Service is to collect the proper
amount of tax revenue at the least cost; serve the public by continually
improving the quality of our products and services; and perform in a
manner warranting the highest degree of public confidence in our
integrity, efficiency and fairness.
To achieve its mission, the Service has identified three strategic
objectives. First, to accomplish our objective of increasing compliance
we will encourage and assist taxpayers to voluntarily file timely and
accurate returns and pay on time; when taxpayers do not comply, we will
take appropriate enforcement actions. Second, to achieve our objective
of improving customer service we will improve telephone access, resolve
as many inquiries as possible on the first contact and make it easier
for taxpayers to comply with their tax obligations. Third, and finally,
to meet our objective of increasing productivity we will continually
improve the quality of products and services we provide by using systems
improvement tools and techniques, and developing a highly-trained work
force.
IRS has developed a set of key performance measures to focus the
energies and talents of the organization and its employees on the
attainment of the mission, and to establish clear lines of
accountability for continuous improvement. The mission effectiveness
measure is a barometer of overall Service performance and is the first
level of servicewide measures. This indicator compares the amount of
revenue collected during a fiscal year, minus the IRS costs of
collecting that revenue and minus the monetized value of the hours used
by taxpayers and other costs in meeting their tax obligations, with the
amount of revenue that would have been collected if all taxpayers had
paid their full tax liability.
The second level of measures is used to assess achievement of the
Service's three objectives, which are displayed below.
Finally, the third level of measures contains the measures for the
Service's fourteen budget activities. These fourteen activities
represent the Service's various functional components; each activity
contributes toward the achievement of the Service's mission and
objectives. Details on these measures are shown at the conclusion of the
appropriation summaries.

This appropriation provides for: processing tax returns and related
documents; assisting taxpayers in filing of their returns and in paying
taxes that are due; matching information returns with tax returns;
internal audit and internal security; and management of financial
resources, rent and utilities.
Submission processing.--This activity provides for all actions
associated with receipt of completed returns and payments, deposit of
those payments, processing and accounting for revenue collections and
Federal Tax Deposits and verification of the accuracy of information
provided by the taxpayer through an automated master file system. It
provides for payment of refunds, offset of refunds against delinquent
accounts, issuance of notices that payments are overdue, identification
of possible nonfilers for investigation, and assistance in the selection
of tax returns for audit.
Telephone and Correspondence.--This activity aids voluntary
compliance with Federal tax laws by informing taxpayers of their
responsibilities and by providing services and information through
various media which assist them in meeting their obligations. It
provides for responding to inquiries concerning tax laws, IRS bills and
notices, and resolving tax account problems.
Document Matching.--This activity processes information returns,
such as wage, dividend, and interest statements and matches them with
related individual income tax returns. This enables the Service to
identify income reporting discrepancies, unsubstantiated deductions, and
nonfiling of tax returns and to verify facts and amounts in question
through taxpayer contact prior to assessing additional tax or refunding
excess credits.
Inspection.--This activity protects public confidence in the
integrity of the Internal Revenue Service. Internal Audit independently
reviews service programs at the national, regional and local levels to
ensure that laws and regulations are being followed, that management and
financial internal controls are in place, that programs and major ADP
systems are functioning effectively and efficiently and that
appropriated funds are spent as authorized. Internal Security conducts
background investigations to maintain the integrity of the IRS workforce
against fraud and drug abuse and protect the Service against outside
attempts to bribe, intimidate or harass its employees.
Management Services.--This activity sets policies and goals,
provides leadership and direction for the Service, and provides
Servicewide policy guidance for managing contract administration and
procurement programs, conducting strategic and organizational planning,
and developing and managing the human, logistical, and financial
resources required to fulfill the Service's mission in performing tax
administration. It also provides all administrative services for IRS
National office and field installations.
Rent and Utilities.--This activity provides rent and utilities for
the entire Service.

This appropriation provides for the examination of tax returns, both
domestic and international, and the administrative and judicial
settlement of taxpayer appeals of examination findings. It also provides
for technical rulings, monitoring employee pension plans, determining
qualifications of organizations seeking tax-exempt status, examining tax
returns of exempt organizations, enforcing statutes relating to
detection and investigation of criminal violations of the internal
revenue laws, collecting unpaid accounts, compiling statistics of income
and compliance research, and securing unfiled tax returns and payments.
Funds are requested to continue the Service's ability to ensure
equitable application and adequate enforcement of the tax laws, to
promote voluntary compliance with the internal revenue laws, to identify
possible nonfilers for investigation and to investigate cases of fraud
or financial transactions related to possible money laundering schemes.
Criminal Investigations.--This activity provides for enforcement of
criminal statutes relating to violations of internal revenue laws. It
investigates cases of suspected intent to defraud, recommends
prosecution as warranted, and assists in the preparation and trial of
criminal tax cases. In addition, financial investigations expose money
laundering schemes through a variety of methods, including Currency
Transaction Reports.
Examination.--This activity encourages voluntary compliance with the
internal revenue laws through the determination of correct tax liability
by the selective examination of tax returns, the correction of errors,
and explanation of these corrections to taxpayers. The appeals portion
of this activity provides staffing, training, and direct support to
allow for an administrative review process that provides a channel for
[[Page 875]]
impartial case settlement prior to cases being docketed in a court of
law. This includes the offices of the national director of appeals and
the regional director of appeals.
The international portion of this activity directs the full range of
IRS enforcement and assistance programs related to U.S. taxpayers doing
business or residing outside the United States as well as non-resident
aliens with a U.S. tax obligation. It also provides technical tax
training and administrative assistance to foreign governments; provides
compliance and taxpayer service support to Puerto Rico, the Virgin
Islands and certain Pacific Island jurisdictions; and manages activities
related to tax treaties between the United States and other governments.
The compliance research component of this activity develops and
evaluates data on taxpayer filing characteristics based on returns as
they are filed and conducts statistical and economic studies.
Collection.--This activity collects unpaid tax accounts and secures
delinquent returns; develops and implements programs to prevent tax
accounts from becoming delinquent; determines and analyzes reasons for
tax accounts that become delinquent; and develops, implements, and
measures programs that analyze the reasons for types and degrees of
nonfiling.
Employee plans and exempt organizations.--This activity monitors
private pension plans to ensure compliance with the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Organizations apply for tax-
exempt status, which is determined by this activity, through the
application of certain tests. By examining tax returns of tax-exempt
organizations, it monitors and ensures compliance with current tax laws
regarding tax-exempt organizations.
Statistics of income.--This activity publishes Statistics of Income
Reports on the operation of income tax laws, as required by the Internal
Revenue Code for the Congress and its committees; for administrative use
by the Secretary of the Treasury and the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue; and for the Federal benchmark statistical programs on income,
wealth and finance.
Chief Counsel.--The counsel activity is the independent legal
counsel to the Internal Revenue Service and provides the correct legal
interpretation of the internal revenue laws; represents the Internal
Revenue Service in litigation; provides all other legal support for the
Internal Revenue Service; and, performs these duties in a manner that
enhances public confidence in the integrity, efficiency, and fairness of
our nation's tax system.

The creation of the Information Technology Investments Account
responds to the requirements of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act
of 1994 and the Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996 and
represents new capital projects, formerly designated as Tax Systems
Modernization, in the ``Information Systems'' account within the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Requesting funding for projects in this
account is consistent with the Administration's fixed asset policy by
seeking advanced appropriations for multi-year projects. The
Administration supports full funding as part of an ongoing attempt to
improve cost and performance of agency procurements. The
Administration's goal is to ensure that capital assets support core/
priority mission of the agency; the assets have demonstrated a projected
return on investment that is clearly articulated, cost-benefits of
acquisition have been evaluated, and to help ensure accountability. To
implement the Administration's full funding policy, advance
appropriations are requested for information technology investments for
the IRS's primary business lines: submission processing, electronic
commerce, customer service; compliance, and corporate systems.
Investments in information technology will be predicated on a systems
architecture that integrates functional requirements with infrastructure
and data security; a project sequencing plan that details the logical
sequence of systems development roll-out and phase out of legacy
systems; and business cases that incorporate known outcomes of
reengineering and electronic commerce and redesigns of work processes.

As provided by law, there will be instances wherein the earned
income tax credit will exceed the amount of tax liability owed through
the individual income tax system, resulting in an additional payment to
the tax filer. The Earned Income Credit was originally authorized by the
Tax Reduction Act of 1975 (Public Law 94-12) and made permanent by the
Revenue Adjustment Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-600). The Tax Reform Act
of 1986 and the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Acts of 1990 and 1993 have
increased the credit amount and expanded the eligibility for earned
income credit.

Under certain circumstances, as provided in 26 U.S.C. 6611, interest
is paid on Internal Revenue collections that must be refunded. The Tax
Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (Public Law 97-248)
provides for daily compounding of interest. Under the Tax Reform Act of
1986 (Public Law 99-514), interest paid on Internal Revenue collections
will equal the Federal short-term rate plus two percentage points, such
rate to be adjusted quarterly.

This revolving fund was established pursuant to section 112(a) of
the Federal Tax Lien Act of 1966, to serve as the source of financing
the redemption of real property by the United States. During the process
of collecting unpaid taxes, the government places a tax lien on real
estate in order to protect the government's interest. Situations arise
where property of this nature is collateral for other indebtedness and
the tax lien is subordinate to the original indebtedness. In this
circumstance, it is often to the government's interest to purchase the
property during the foreclosure sale. The advantage arises when the
property is worth substantially more than the first lienholder's equity
but is being sold for an amount that barely covers that equity, thereby
leaving no proceeds to apply against delinquent taxes. Under these
circumstances, if the Government buys the property and subsequently puts
it up for sale under more advantageous conditions, it is possible to
realize sufficient profit on the transaction to fully or partially
collect the amount of taxes due. The revolving fund is reimbursed from
the proceeds of the sale in an amount equal to the amount expended from
the fund for the redemption. The balance of the proceeds are applied
against the amount of the tax, interest, penalties, and additions
thereto, and for the costs of sale. The remainder, if any, would revert
to the parties legally entitled to it.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency was created for the
purpose of establishing and regulating a national banking system. The
National Currency Act of 1863 (12 U.S.C. 1 et seq., 12 Stat. 665)
provided for the chartering and supervising functions in this
connection. The income of the bureau is derived principally from
assessments paid by national banks and interest on investments in U.S.
Government obligations.
The Administrator of National Banks charters new banking
institutions only after investigation and due consideration of charter
applications. Supervision of existing national banks is aided by the
required submission of periodic reports and detailed onsite
examinations, which are conducted by a staff of approximately 2,155
national bank examiners. At present, there are approximately 2,736
national banks with total assets of more than $2.5 trillion.
In addition, the Comptroller considers applications for mergers in
which the resulting bank will be a national bank and applications from
banks to establish branches. The Comptroller of the Currency also
promulgates rules and regulations for the guidance of national banks and
bank directors.

The Office of Thrift Supervision was created by the Financial
Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (12 U.S.C.
1811 note). The Office assumed the regulatory functions of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board dissolved by the same act.
The Office charters, regulates and examines Federal thrifts, all of
which are insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund. In
addition, the Office cooperates in the examination and supervision of
State-chartered thrifts insured by the Savings Association Insurance
Fund. The Office sets capital standards for Federal and State thrifts
and reviews applications of State-chartered thrifts for conversion to
Federal thrifts. It also reviews applications for establishment of
branch offices.
Income of the bureau is derived principally from assessments on
thrifts, examination fees and interest on investments in U.S. Government
obligations. At present, the Office oversees more than 1,300 thrifts
with more than 11,000 operating branches and total assets of more than
$700 billion.
