MEMORANDUM TO THE HONORABLE PHILIP W. BUCHEN
COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT
Subject: Duplicate Congressional Hearings
Pursuant to our discussion on August 28, 1975, the following is
a brief summary of the overlapping Congressional inquiries affecting
the Treasury Department.
U.S. Secret Service
In addition to the inquiries and investigations by the Select
Intelligence Committees of the House and Senate, the Secret Service has
dealt with requests from the Subcommittee on Government Information and
Individual Rights of the House Government Operations Committee.
Customs Service
Investigations have been conducted concerning intelligence activities
of the Customs Service by the Select Intelligence Committees and two
others. The Government Information and Individual Rights Subcommittee
and the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the Senate Govern-
ment Operations Committee have sought various documents from Customs
concerning Southeast Asia narcotics trafficking and drug enforcement
operations and procedures.
IRS
The most extensive duplication of Congressional inquiries affecting
Treasury have related to the IRS. In addition to the Senate and House
Select Committees and the Senate and House Appropriations Committees,
the Secretary and Commissioner have appeared or are scheduled to appear
before various Congressional committees to discuss issues involving IRS
issues similar to those before the Select Committees. These have
included the following:
