U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 967. Smuggling of controlled substances; investigations; oaths; subpenas; witnesses; evidence; production of records; territorial limits; fees and mileage of witnesses
For the purpose of any investigation which, in the opinion of the
Secretary of the Treasury, is necessary and proper to the
enforcement of section 545 of title 18 (relating to smuggling goods
into the United States) with respect to any controlled substance
(as defined in section 802 of this title), the Secretary of the
Treasury may administer oaths and affirmations, subpena witnesses,
compel their attendance, take evidence, and require the production
of records (including books, papers, documents and tangible things
which constitute or contain evidence) relevant or material to the
investigation. The attendance of witnesses and the production of
records may be required from any place within the customs territory
of the United States, except that a witness shall not be required
to appear at any hearing distant more than 100 miles from the place
where he was served with subpena. Witnesses summoned by the
Secretary shall be paid the same fees and mileage that are paid
witnesses in the courts of the United States. Oaths and
affirmations may be made at any place subject to the jurisdiction
of the United States.
