                                    TUESDAY,  JUNE  14, 2022

                                                        U.S. SENATE,
                      SUBCOMMITTEE  OF THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS,
                                                            Washington, DC.
                   The  subcommittee met at 2:37 p.m., in room SD-138, Dirksen
                   Senate Office Building, Hon. Chris Van Hollen (Chairman) pre-
                   siding.
                   Present: Senators Van Hollen, Coons, Manchin, Hyde-Smith, and
                   Boozman.
                               U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY
                        OPENING STATEMENT  OF SENATOR CHRIS VAN HOLLEN
                    Senator VAN HOLLEN. All right. Good afternoon. The hearing will
                  come to order. And I want to start by saying I am pleased to be
                  joined by my Ranking  Member,  Senator Hyde-Smith, also just
                  joined by Senator Manchin, and Senator Coons, I think will be re-
                  turning soon. I want to welcome our witness, Deputy Secretary of
                  the Treasury, Wally Adeyemo.
                  And   Mr. Deputy Secretary, thank you so much for being here
                  today and for your work at the Department of Treasury. This sub-
                  committee oversees the annual budget for the Department  of
                  Treasury, including funding for the IRS.
                  Just  a few months ago, our subcommittee provided the IRS with
                  its largest funding increase in 20 years in order to cut down on the
                  tax return processing backlog, which continues to need to be ad-
                  dressed and to improve service for working families. It was a big
                  step forward.
                  We   know that we need to continue that effort this year. For to-
                  day's hearing, we are going to zero in on the budgets of two specific
                  agencies within the Department of Treasury to help keep money
                  out of the hands of terrorists, criminals, and other bad actors, and
                  help to keep Americans safe.
                  The   first is the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence,
                  also known as TFI. The second is the Financial Crimes Enforce-
                  ment Network, also known as FinCEN. At the outset, I would like
                  to cover the special importance of these two agencies to America's
                  safety and security, and to the safety and security around the
                  world.
                                              (1)
