    --proceedings involving mandamus, injunctions, and other specific 
writs arising in connection with internal revenue matters;
    --suits against Internal Revenue Service employees for damages 
claimed because of alleged injuries caused in the performance of their 
official duties;

abusive tax shelters and to enjoin activities relating to aiding and 
abetting the understatement of tax liabilities of others;

reasonableness of a jeopardy or termination assessment and the 
appropriateness of the amount;
    --proceedings brought against the Tax Division and the Internal 
Revenue Service for disclosure of information under the Freedom of 
Information Act; and

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the principal investigative 
arm of the United States Department of Justice. It is primarily charged 
with gathering and reporting facts, locating witnesses, and compiling 
evidence in cases involving Federal jurisdiction. It also provides law 
enforcement leadership and assistance to State and international law 
enforcement agencies.
    The Federal Bureau of Investigation was established in 1908 by the 
Attorney General, who directed that Department of Justice investigations 
be handled by its own staff. The Bureau is charged with investigating 
all violations of Federal law except those that have been assigned by 
legislative enactment or otherwise to another Federal agency. Its 
jurisdiction includes a wide range of responsibilities in the national 
security, criminal, and civil fields. Priority has been assigned to the 
such areas as counterterrorism, counterintelligence, cybercrimes, 
international and national organized crime/drug matters, and financial 
crimes.
    The FBI also offers cooperative services to local, State, and 
international law enforcement agencies. These services include 
fingerprint identification, laboratory examination, police training, the 
Law Enforcement Online communication and information service for use by 
the law enforcement community, the National Crime Information Center, 
and the National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime.

The mission of the Bureau of Prisons is to protect society by confining 
offenders in the controlled environments of prisons and community-based 
facilities that are safe, humane, cost-efficient, and appropriately 
secure, and that provide work and other self-improvement opportunities 
to assist offenders in becoming law-abiding citizens. The Bureau has its 
headquarters, or Central Office, in Washington, DC. The Central Office 
is divided into nine divisions and the National Institute of 
Corrections.
    The community corrections and detention division assists in the 
development and administration of contracts and intergovernmental 
agreements for the confinement of selected Federal offenders in 
community-based programs, detention centers, juvenile facilities, State 
prisons, local jails, and privately operated prisons. The division also 
coordinates the Bureau's privatization efforts and the transition of the 
District of Columbia sentenced felon population to the Bureau. The 
volunteer management branch promotes and coordinates programs for 
citizen, inmate, and staff volunteerism in Bureau institutions and local 
communities.

[[Page 275]]

    The correctional programs division develops activities and programs 
designed to classify inmates appropriately, eliminate inmate idleness, 
and instill a positive work ethic. Programs include psychology services, 
religious services, substance abuse treatment, programs for special 
needs offenders, and case management. The division provides policy 
direction and daily operational oversight of institution security, 
emergency preparedness, intelligence gathering, inmate discipline, 
inmate sentence computations, receiving and discharge, and inmate 
transportation, as well as the Bureau's coordination with other 
countries on treaty transfers and the special security needs of inmates 
placed in the Federal Witness Protection Program. The division, along 
with the community corrections and detention division, also ensures the 
Bureau's compliance with the 1997 law that mandates the transfer of 
sentenced felons from the District of Columbia Department of Corrections 
into Federal custody.
    The industries, education, and vocational training division has 
managerial oversight of the Bureau's education, recreation, and 
vocational training programs. It also oversees the Federal Prison 
Industries, or UNICOR (UNICOR), which is a wholly owned Government 
corporation that provides employment and training opportunities for 
inmates confined in Federal correctional facilities.
    The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) provides technical 
assistance, training, and information to State and local corrections 
agencies throughout the country. It also provides research assistance

of training services to State and local correctional personnel and to 
Bureau employees at its academy in Longmont, Colorado.

United States National Central Bureau-International Criminal Police 
Organization

Washington, DC 20530. Phone, 202-616-9000

The U.S. National Central Bureau (USNCB) represents the United States in 
INTERPOL, the International Criminal

[[Page 276]]

Police Organization. Also known as INTERPOL--Washington, USNCB provides 
an essential communications link between the U.S. police community and 
their counterparts in the foreign member countries.
    INTERPOL is an association of 178 countries dedicated to promoting 
mutual assistance among law enforcement authorities in the prevention 
and suppression of international crime. With no police force of its own, 
INTERPOL has no powers of arrest or search and seizure. Instead, 
INTERPOL serves as a channel of communication among the police of the 
member countries, and provides a forum for discussions, working group 
meetings, and symposia to enable police to focus on specific areas of 
criminal activity affecting their countries.
    Under the State and Local Law Enforcement Program, States establish 
an office within their own law enforcement community to serve as liaison 
to USNCB. International leads developed in criminal investigations being 
conducted by a State or local police entity can be pursued through their 
liaison office, and criminal investigative requests from abroad are 
funneled through the relevant State liaison office for action by the 
appropriate State or local agency. All 50 States and the District of 
Columbia now participate in the liaison program, which is currently 
coordinated by a representative from the Maryland State police.
    USNCB has three sub-bureaus which serve to more effectively address 
the law enforcement needs of U.S. territories. The sub-bureaus are 
located in Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

organizations by arresting their members, confiscating their drugs, and 
seizing their assets; and creates, manages, and supports enforcement-
related programs--domestically and internationally--aimed at reducing 
the availability of and demand for controlled substances.
    The Administration's responsibilities include:

interstate and international levels;
    --seizure and forfeiture of assets derived from, traceable to, or 
intended to be used for illicit drug trafficking;
