   CHAPTER IX--FEDERAL CLAIMS COLLECTION STANDARDS (DEPARTMENT OF THE 
                    TREASURY--DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE)
 
PART 902_STANDARDS FOR THE COMPROMISE OF CLAIMS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 902.7  Mutual releases of the debtor and the Government.

    In all appropriate instances, a compromise that is accepted by an 
agency should be implemented by means of a mutual release, in which the 
debtor is released from further non-tax liability on the compromised 
debt in consideration of payment in full of the compromise amount and 
the Government and its officials, past and present, are released and 
discharged from any and all claims and causes of action arising from the 
same transaction that the debtor may have. In the event a mutual release 
is not executed when a debt is compromised, unless prohibited by law, 
the debtor is still deemed to have waived any and all claims and causes 
of action against the Government and its officials related to the 
transaction giving rise to the compromised debt.
