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

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.

Activities

Economic Policy  The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Economic 
Policy assists policymakers in the determination of economic policies. 
The Office:
    --reviews and analyzes domestic and international economic issues 
and developments in the financial markets;
    --assists in the development of official economic projections; and
    --works closely with Federal Government agencies to develop economic 
forecasts underlying the yearly budget process.

Enforcement  The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 
coordinates Treasury law enforcement matters, including the formulation 
of policies for Treasury enforcement activities, and cooperates on law 
enforcement matters with other Federal agencies. It oversees the 
following branches of the Department:
    --the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, charged with 
collecting excise taxes on alcoholic beverages and tobacco products;
    --the Office of Financial Enforcement, assisting in implementing the 
Bank Secrecy Act and administering related Treasury regulations; and
    --the Office of Foreign Assets Control, controlling assets in the 
United States of ``blocked'' countries and the flow of funds and trade 
to them.
Financial Institutions  The Office of the Assistant Secretary for 
Financial Institutions exercises policy direction and control over 
Department activities relating to the substance of proposed legislation 
pertaining to the general activities and regulation of private financial 
intermediaries and relating to other Federal regulatory agencies.
Fiscal Affairs  The Office of the Fiscal Assistant Secretary supervises 
the administration of the Government's fiscal affairs. It manages the 
cash position of the Treasury and projects and monitors ``debt subject-
to-limit;'' directs the performance of the fiscal agency functions of 
the Federal Reserve Banks; conducts governmentwide accounting and cash 
management activities; exercises supervision over depositories of the 
United States; and provides management overview of investment practices 
for Government trusts and other accounts.
International Affairs  The Office of the Assistant Secretary for 
International Affairs advises and assists policymakers in the 
formulation and execution of policies dealing with international 
financial, economic, monetary, trade, investment, environmental, and 
energy policies and programs. The work of the Office is organized into 
groups responsible for monetary and financial policy; international 
development, debt, and environmental policy; trade and investment 
policy; economic and financial technical assistance; and geographical 
areas (Asia, the Americas, Africa, Eurasia, and Latin America). The 
staff offices performing these functions:
    --conduct financial diplomacy with industrial and developing nations 
and regions;
    --work toward improving the structure and operations of the 
international monetary system;
    --monitor developments in foreign exchange and other markets and 
official operations affecting those markets;
    --facilitate structural monetary cooperation through the 
International Monetary Fund and other channels;
    --oversee U.S. participation in the multilateral development banks 
and coordinate U.S. policies and operations relating to bilateral and 
multilateral development lending programs and institutions;
    --formulate policy concerning financing of trade;
    --coordinate policies toward foreign investments in the United 
States and U.S. investments abroad; and
    --analyze balance of payments and other basic financial and economic 
data, including energy data, affecting world payment patterns and the 
world economic outlook.
Tax Policy  The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy advises 
and assists the Secretary and the Deputy Secretary in the formulation 
and execution of domestic and international tax policies and programs. 
These functions include:
    --analysis of proposed tax legislation and tax programs;
    --projections of economic trends affecting tax bases;
    --studies of effects of alternative tax measures;

domestic

[[Page 343]]

and international tax regulations and rulings; and
    --participation in international tax treaty negotiations and in 
maintenance of relations with international organizations on tax 
matters.
Treasurer of the United States  The Office of the Treasurer of the 
United States was established on September 6, 1777. The Treasurer was 
originally charged with the receipt and custody of Government funds, but 
many of these functions have been assumed by different bureaus of the 
Department of the Treasury. In 1981, the Treasurer was assigned 
responsibility for oversight of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and 
the United States Mint. The Treasurer reports to the Secretary through 
the Assistant Secretary for Management/Chief Financial Officer.
Treasury Inspector General  The Treasury Inspector General for Tax 
Administration (TIGTA) was established in January 1999, in accordance 
with the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, 
to provide independent oversight of the Internal Revenue Service 
programs and activities. TIGTA is charged with monitoring the Nation's 
taxlaws to ensure the IRS acts with efficiency, economy, and 
effectiveness toward program accomplishment; ensuring compliance with 
applicable laws and regulations, preventing, detecting, and deterring 
fraud,waste, and abuse; investigating activities or allegations related 
to fraud, waste, and abuse by IRS personnel; and protecting the IRS 
against attempts to corrupt or threaten its employees.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency was created February 25,

primary mission is to regulate national banks. The Office is headed by 
the Comptroller, who is appointed for a 5-year term by the President

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 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 $2.2 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 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 acknowledgment 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

[[Page 345]]

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 more than 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 fiscal year 2003, nearly 74 
percent of these transactions were issued by electronic funds transfer. 
The remainder of FMS payments are disbursed by check.

Internal Revenue Service

The Office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue was established by 
act of July 1, 1862 (26 U.S.C. 7802). The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) 
is responsible for administering and enforcing the internal revenue laws 
and related statutes, except those relating to alcohol, tobacco, 
firearms, and explosives. Its mission is to collect the proper amount of 
tax revenue, at the least cost to the public, by efficiently applying 
the tax law with integrity and fairness. To achieve that purpose, the 
IRS:
    --strives to achieve the highest possible degree of voluntary 
compliance in accordance with the tax laws and regulations;
    --advises the public of their rights and responsibilities;
    --determines the extent of compliance and the causes of 
noncompliance;
    --properly administers and enforces the tax laws; and
    --continually searches for and implements new, more efficient ways 
of accomplishing its mission.
    Basic activities include
    --ensuring satisfactory resolution of taxpayer complaints, providing 
taxpayer service and education;
    --determining, assessing, and collecting internal revenue taxes;
    --determining pension plan qualifications and exempt organization 
status; and
    --preparing and issuing rulings and regulations to supplement the 
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
    The source of most revenues collected is the individual income tax 
and the social insurance and retirement taxes. Other major sources are 
corporate 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.
