(1) ''agency'' means each authority of the

> subject to review 
> by another agency, but does not include - 
> (A) the Congress; 
> (B) the courts of the United States; 
> (C) the governments of the territories or
> possessions of the 
> United States; 
> (D) the government of the District of Columbia;

>IRS is not an

> not appropriate for them to answer.

>The implications are far-reaching;  so, we
> have petitioned a California federal court
> for declaratory relief on this important

> rule that IRS is not an "agency", as that
> term is defined in the FOIA, i.e. 5 U.S.C. 551.

> So, we DON'T get Form 61's for DOJ attorneys,

> Along these same lines, IRS employees should
