In order to implement this legislation
initially. the Department conducted a
survey of all federal agencies to
determine which federal empleyees.
other than those already isted in 18
U.S.C. 1114. should be protected under
the statute. The result of this survey was
the promulgation of Attorney General
Order No. 177-87, 52 FR 4767. February
17. 1987, cre ating 28 CFR part 6H. Section
64.1 states the purpose of the regulation.
Section 64.2 originally listed 21
categories of federal employees who
were considered appropriate for
coverage under section 1114 and the
other stalutory provisions. Consistent
with the purpose and legisiative history
of section 1114, these categories of
federal employees were selected
because their jobs involve inspection.
investigative or other law enforcement
responsibility or their work involves a
substantial degree of physical danger
from the public that may not be
adequately addressed by available state
or local law enforcement resources. Part
64 has been amended three times to add
additional categories of personnel
