69TH CONGRESS. SENATE REPORT
-1st Session No. 27
INVESTIGATION OF THE BUREAU OF INTERNAL
REVENUE
JANUARY 7 (calendar day, JANUARY 12), 1926.-Ordered to be printed with
illustrations
Mr. COuZENs, from the Select Committee on Investigation of the
Bureau of Internal Revenue, submitted the following
PARTIAL REPORT
[Pursuant to S. Res. 168. 68th Cong.]
Under Senate Resolution 168, Sixty-eighth Congress, First Ses-
sion, adopted March 12, 1924, your special committee was appointed
and directed to investigate the Bureau of Internal Revenue and
report its findings together with recommendations for corrective
legislation.
This committee could not complete its work prior to the expira-
tion of the Sixty-eighth Congress, and was authorized to continue its
investigation after March 4, 1925, by Senate Resolution 333, Sixty-
eighth Congress, second session, adopted February 26, 1925.
By the terms of Senate Resolution 333, this committee was re-
quired to withdraw its representatives from the offices of the Bureau
of Internal Revenue and cease holding hearings on June 1, 1925,
and was not permitted to withdraw any original papers from the
bureau after that date. The only files or papers of the bureau which
this committee or its agents have been permitted to examine since
June 1, 1925, are such as were requested prior to May 15, 1925.
The above mentioned limitations upon the authority of this coin-
mittee have prevented the investigation of many subjects and cases
which would have been investigated but for such limitations.
HIsTORY AND SCOPE OF INVESTIGATION
This committee first held hearings from March 14, 1924, to April
9, 1924. It became apparent that the nature of the work of the
Bureau of Internal Revenue, particularly the work of the Income
Tax Unit, is such that no satisfactory investigation could be con-
ducted without legal, engineering, accounting, and clerical assist-
ants. The employment of such assistants was authorized by Senate
Resolution 211, adopted April 22, 1924.](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.usccsset/usconset34852&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
