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

    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

    The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency was created February 25,
    1863 (12 Stat. 665), as a bureau of the Department of the Treasury. Its
    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
    with the advice and consent of the Senate.
        The Office regulates national banks by its power to examine banks;

    mergers; takes enforcement action--such as bank closures--against banks
    that are not in compliance with laws and regulations; and issues rules,
    regulations, and interpretations on banking practices.
        The Office supervises approximately 2,100 national banks, including
    their trust activities and overseas operations. Each bank is examined
    annually through a nationwide staff of approximately 1,900 bank
    examiners supervised in 4 district offices. The Office is independently

    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 accounting and
    reporting services, and manages the collection of delinquent debt owed
    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 through 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 341]]

    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 disburses nearly 1 billion with an access
    dollar value of more than 1.7 trillion, to a wide variety of recipients,
    such as those who receive Social Security, IRS tax refunds, and
    veterans' benefits. For fiscal year 2004, nearly 75 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.

    reimbursable support to federal agencies. The Bureau fulfills its
    mission through five programs: wholesale securities, Government agency
    investment, retail securities services, summary debt accounting, and
