In December, the Department of Justice, with the aid of State and local law enforcement officials, arrested over 400 people in 15 States on fraud charges. These arrests were the results of an undercover operation known as Senior Sentinel. The sentinels were elderly volunteers who allowed law enforcement agents to record phone calls from dishonest telemarketers. The volunteers played the role of innocent victims, and the tapes were the basis of the ar rests. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Bill McCollum (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Present: Representatives Bill McCollum, Howard Coble, Fred Heineman, Steve Chabot, Charles E. Schumer, Robert C.

OPENING STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN McCOLLUM Mr. McCOLLUM. The Subcommittee on Crime is called to order. The subject matter today is the growing problem of telemarketing fraud and victimization of the elderly. Older Americans have rapidly become the preferred targets of fraudulent telemarketers. These victims come from an era when a person's word, like a hand shake, could be trusted. Because of the difficulty in telling a legitimate telephone pitch from an illegitimate one, they fall prey to these conniving callers. As a result, their losses are often staggering. The Federal Trade Commission estimates that telemarketing fraud costs consumers about $40 billion a year. One Ohio widow lost $240,000 to over 50 different telemarketers. She believed that she was donating to charitable organizations. A 92-year-old California woman gave more than $180,000 to telemarketers. She then lost over $5,000 more to another telemarketer who told her he could recover her originally lost money in return for a large advance fee. Some seniors have unwittingly given their enter life savings to telefrauds. Fraudulent telemarketers are constantly refining their cons. If one pitch doesn't work, they smoothly switch to another one. They pressure and conjole until their overwhelmed victim finally surrenders the money. If necessary, these telephonic muggers become abusive and threatening. When they're finished wringing money from their victims, the telemarketers sell the victim's name to another operation, and the calls begin anew. This isn't to say that telephone calls arc the only way our senior citizens have been victimized by swindlers. Home improvement fraud, for example, is rapidly becoming the "con de jour" all across the country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.
