Campbell, #1776 Barry Windheim Tucson, AZ 85719 [sic] Telephone Number: (202) 622-6250 Refer Reply to: 96-2349 Date: OCT 30 1996 Dear Mr. Mitchell: This is in response to your Freedom of Information request dated August 31, 1996, requesting certified copies of all liability statutes presently enacted in the Internal Revenue Code. One of the FOIA's requirements is that requesters sufficiently identify the records solicited in order to locate them. To the extent you are seeking records which establish the authority of the Internal Revenue Service to assess, enforce and collect taxes, please be advised of the following. The Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution authorized Congress to impose an income tax. Congress did so in the Internal Revenue Code, which may be found in Title 26 of the United States Code. The Internal Revenue Code is administered by the Internal Revenue Service and may be responsive to portions of your request. The Code is available at many bookstores and public libraries throughout the country. In addition, copies of the Federal Register which contain Federal regulations, and copies of the Congressional Record which contain Federal laws may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Though the Freedom of Information Act is designed to give the public the greatest possible access to existing government records, it does not require us to do research or answer questions in response to a request. It is suggested that you perform the legal research needed to reasonably identify the documents you need to address your concerns. Once you have made your determinations, we will be happy to search our files to locate these documents, if they exist, and respond accordingly. Sincerely, /s/ Carroll Field for Mark L. Zolton Tax Law Specialist Freedom of Information # # # Paul Mitchell comments: I didn't find any mention of a single liability statute in the above, after reading it three times.
