| Enclosed is a copy of the Department of the Treasury's
August 1996 issue of FinCEN Advisory, published by the Department's
Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
FinCEN Advisory is designed to keep financial institutions,
regulatory agencies and law enforcement agencies advised
of trends and developments related to money laundering and
financial crime. The periodical provides intelligence and
analysis for case support to federal, state, local and international
law enforcement and regulatory agencies, while furnishing
financial communities with the information they need to
help prevent and detect financial crime.
In a continuing effort to assist banks in Bank Secrecy
Act compliance, anti-money laundering efforts, and prevention
and detection of other financial crimes, the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) will forward each issue of
FinCEN Advisory to FDIC-supervised banks. Please circulate
copies to each department of your institution with Bank
Secrecy Act compliance and internal security responsibilities.
Comments about FinCEN Advisory should be addressed to
the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, Office of Communications,
U. S. Department of the Treasury, 2070 Chain Bridge Road,
Vienna, VA 22182. Comments also may be faxed to FinCEN at
(703) 905-3885.
