HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

The section is supplied for convenience and clarification. The

Bureau of Investigation in the Department of Justice, the earliest

predecessor agency of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, was

created administratively in 1908. It appears that funds used for

the Bureau of Investigation were first obtained through the

Department of Justice Appropriation Act of May 22, 1908, ch. 186,

Sec. 1 (par. beginning "From the appropriations for the prosecution

of crimes"), 35 Stat. 236, although that statutory provision makes

no express mention of the Bureau or of the investigative function.

Section 3 of Executive Order No. 6166 of June 10, 1933,

specifically recognized the Bureau of Investigation in the

Department of Justice and provided that all that Bureau's functions

together with the investigative functions of the Bureau of

Prohibition were "transferred to and consolidated in a Division of

Investigation in the Department of Justice, at the head of which

shall be a Director of Investigation."

The Division of Investigation was first designated as the

"Federal Bureau of Investigation" by the Act of Mar. 22, 1935, ch.

39, title II, 49 Stat. 77, and has been so designated in statutes

since that date.

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

The section is from the Department of Justice Appropriation Act,

1965. Similar provisions were contained in each appropriation Act

for the Department running back to 1921, which Acts are identified

in a note under sections 299 and 300 of title 5, U.S.C. 1964 ed.

The section is reorganized for clarity. The authority to appoint

officials for the cited purposes is implied. The word "may" is

substituted for "is authorized to". The words "who shall be vested

with the authority necessary for the execution of such duties" are

omitted as unnecessary as the appointment of the officials for the

purposes indicated carries with it the authority necessary to

perform their duties.

In paragraph (2), the words "to assist in" are added for clarity

and in recognition of the provisions of 18 U.S.C. 3056 which vest

in the United States Secret Service the responsibility for the

protection of the person of the President. As so revised, this

paragraph will assure that the Secret Service will continue to have

primary responsibility for the protection of the President but at

the same time will permit the Federal Bureau of Investigation to

render assistance in such protection.

The last sentence is added because in various areas the authority

to investigate certain criminal offenses has been specifically

assigned by statute to departments and agencies other than the

Federal Bureau of Investigation. For example, the enforcement of

the internal revenue laws is specifically a function of the

Secretary of the Treasury and he is authorized to employ such

number of persons as he deems proper for the enforcement of such

laws (26 U.S.C. 7801, 7803). The Secretary of the Treasury is

specifically authorized to direct the collection of duties on

imports and to appoint such employees for that purpose as he deems

necessary (19 U.S.C. 3, 6). The U.S. Coast Guard is specifically

authorized to enforce or assist in enforcing the Federal laws upon

the high seas and waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United

States (14 U.S.C. 2). Subject to the direction of the Secretary of

the Treasury, the Secret Service is specifically authorized to

detect and arrest persons committing offenses against the laws of

the United States relating to coins and obligations and securities

of the United States and foreign governments (18 U.S.C. 3056).

than 16,000 Federal, State and local law enforcement agencies, is

the single most important avenue of cooperation among law

enforcement agencies;

Center are needed because the current system is more than twenty

years old; carries much greater volumes of enforcement

information; and at this time is unable to incorporate

technological advances that would significantly improve its

performance; and

"(4) the Federal Bureau of Investigation, working with State

and local law enforcement agencies and private organizations, has

developed a promising plan, 'NCIC 2000', to make the necessary

upgrades to the National Crime Information Center that should

meet the needs of United States law enforcement agencies into the

next century.

"There are authorized to be appropriated the following sums to

implement the 'NCIC 2000' project:

"(1) $17,000,000 for fiscal year 1991;

"(2) $25,000,000 for fiscal year 1992;

"(3) $22,000,000 for fiscal year 1993;

"(4) $9,000,000 for fiscal year 1994; and

"(5) such sums as may be necessary for fiscal year 1995.

"By February 1 of each fiscal year for which funds for NCIC 2000

are requested, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation

shall submit a report to the Committees on the Judiciary of the

Senate and House of Representatives that details the progress that
