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

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.

Bureau of Engraving and Printing

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing operates on basic authorities 
conferred by act of July 11, 1862 (31 U.S.C. 303), and additional 
authorities contained in past appropriations made to the Bureau that are 
still in force. Operations are financed by a revolving fund established 
in 1950 in accordance with Public Law 81-656. The Bureau is headed by a 
Director who is selected by the Secretary of the Treasury.
    The Bureau designs, prints, and finishes all of the Nation's paper 
currency and many other security documents, including White House 
invitations and military identification cards. It also is responsible 
for advising and assisting Federal agencies in the design and production 
of other Government documents that, because of their innate value or for 
other reasons, require security or counterfeit-deterrence 
characteristics.
    The Bureau also operates a second currency manufacturing plant in 
Fort Worth, TX (9000 Blue Mound Road, 76131). Phone, 817-231-4000.

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.

[[Page 341]]

    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 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 the following:
    --ensuring satisfactory resolution of taxpayer complaints and 
providing taxpayer service and education;
    --determining, assessing, and collecting internal revenue taxes;

[[Page 342]]

    --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.
