Looking through the Washington DC telephone book directory for the Dept. revealed no other offices and functions than the ones listed above. Very little information at all on any aspects. This includes govt publications/documents; books; magazines in the library
Editor’s note: C-7-a-14 – a-16 is an article from the January 8, 1977 edition of The Nation Magazine entitled, “’Intelligence’ Abuses by the IRS.” A handwritten note on a-14 reads: “This gives a vague idea of the T-Dept modus operandi for IRS investigation by intelligence division. Some of the stuff they do & have done – this article talks more about Justice Department & IRS but IRS Intelligence is a division of T-Dept – for gathering info preparatory to possible indictment & prosecution.”
