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.
