    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department of the Treasury performs four basic functions:
    formulating and recommending economic, financial, tax, and fiscal
    policies; serving as financial agent for the U.S. Government; enforcing
    the law; and manufacturing coins and currency.

    The Treasury Department was created by act of September 2, 1789 (31
    U.S.C. 301 and 301 note). Many subsequent acts have figured in the
    development of the Department, delegating new duties to its charge and
    establishing the numerous bureaus and divisions that now comprise the
    Treasury.
    Secretary  As a major policy adviser to the President, the Secretary has
    primary responsibility for formulating and recommending domestic and
    international financial, economic, and tax policy; participating in the
    formulation of broad fiscal policies that have general significance for
    the economy; and managing the public debt. The Secretary also oversees
    the activities of the Department in carrying out its major law
    enforcement responsibility; in serving as the financial agent for the
    U.S. Government; and in manufacturing coins, currency, and other
    products for customer agencies. The Secretary also serves as the
    Government's chief financial officer.

    Financial Management Service

    The Financial Management Service (FMS) provides central payment services
    to Federal program agencies, operates the Federal Government's
    collections and deposit systems, provides governmentwide accountingand
    reporting services, and manages the collection of delinquent debtowed to
    the Federal Government. FMS has four Regional Financial Centers (RFCs)
    located in Texas, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and California; and one Debt
    Collection Center in Alabama.
    Accounting   The Service gathers and publishes Governmentwide financial
    information that is used by the public and private sectors to monitor
    the Government's financial status and establish fiscal and monetary
    policies. These publications include the Daily Treasury Statement, the
    Monthly Treasury Statement, the Treasury Bulletin, the U.S. Government
    Annual Report, and the Financial Report of the U.S. Government.
    Collections  FMS administers the world's largest collection system,
    gathering more than $2 trillion annually through a network of more than
    10,000 financial institutions. It also manages the collection of Federal
    revenues such as individual and corporate income tax

    [[Page 343]]

    deposits, customs duties, loan repayments, fines, and proceeds from
    leases.
        FMS and IRS launched the Electronic Federal Tax Payment
    System(www.eftps.gov), which allows individuals and businesses to pay
    Federal taxes via the Internet. EFTPS-OnLine also provides such features
    as an instant, printable acknowledgement for documenting each
    transaction, the ability to schedule advance payments, and access to
    payment history.
        The Treasury Offset Program is one of the methods used to collect
    delinquent debt. FMS uses the program to withhold Federal payments, such
    as Federal income tax refunds, Federal salary payments, and Social
    Security benefits, to recipients with delinquent debts, including past-
    due child support obligations and State and Federal income tax debt.
    Electronic Commerce  Through its electronic money program, FMS tests new
    payments and collection technologies using the Internet and card
    technology, as well as related technologies such as digital signatures
    and biometrics. FMS has initiated electronic money pilot programs to
    help Federal agencies modernize their payments and collection
    activities. Examples include stored-value cards used on military bases
    and in Government hospitals, electronic checks, point-of-sale check
    truncations, and Internet credit card collection programs.
    Payments  Each year, FMS issues nearly 950 million non-defense payments,
    with a dollar value of more than $1.64 trillion, to a wide variety of
    recipients, such as those who receive Social Security, IRS tax refunds,
    and veterans' benefits. For FY 2002, 73 percent of these transactions
    were issued by electronic funds transfer. The remainder of FMS payments
    are disbursed by check.

    and the social insurance and retirement taxes, with other major sources
    being the corporation income, excise, estate, and gift taxes. Congress
    first received authority to levy taxes on the income of individuals and
    corporations in 1913, pursuant to the 16th amendment of the
    Constitution.
