              CHAPTER I--DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (Continued)
 
PART 64--DESIGNATION OF OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES OF THE UNITED STATES FOR COVERAGE UNDER SECTION 1114 OF TITLE 18 OF THE U.S. CODE--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 64.1  Purpose.

    This regulation designates categories of federal officers and 
employees in addition to those already designated by the statute, who 
will be within the protective coverage of 18 U.S.C. 1114, which 
prohibits the killing or attempted killing of such designated officers 
and employees. The categories of federal officers and employees covered 
by section 1114 are also protected, while they are engaged in or on 
account of the performance of their official duties, from a conspiracy 
to kill, 18 U.S.C. 1117; kidnaping, 18 U.S.C. 1201(a)(5); forcible 
assault, intimidation, or interference, 18 U.S.C. 111; and threat of 
assault, kidnap or murder with intent to impede, intimidate, or 
retaliate against such officer or employee, 18 U.S.C. 115(a)(1)(B). In 
addition, the immediate family members of such officers and employees 
are protected against assault, kidnap, murder, attempt to kidnap or 
murder, and threat to assault, kidnap, or murder with intent to impede, 
intimidate, or retaliate against such officer or employee, 18 U.S.C. 
115(a)(1)(A). The protective coverage has been extended to those federal 
officers and employees whose jobs involve inspection, investigative or 
law enforcement responsibilities, or whose 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.
