economic, tax, and f‌iscal policies.

The Treasury Department was created by

act of September 2, 1789 (31 U.S.C. 301

and 301 note). Many subsequent acts

have f‌igured in the development of the

Department, delegating new duties to its

charge and establishing the numerous

bureaus and divisions that now comprise

the Treasury.

Secretary As a major policy adviser

to the President, the Secretary has

primary responsibility for recommending

domestic and international f‌inancial,

economic, and tax policy; formulating

broad f‌iscal policies that have general

signif‌icance for the economy; and

managing the public debt. The Secretary

also oversees the activities of the

Department in carrying out its major

law enforcement responsibility; in

serving as the f‌inancial agent for the U.S.

Government; and in manufacturing coins,

currency, and other products for customer

agencies. The Secretary also serves as the

Government’s chief f‌inancial off‌icer.
