The Bureau established this classification in 1924 under the order of a memorandum from J.E. Hoover to investigate violations of Title 18, U.S.C. Section 1621 (perjury generally) and 1622 (subornation of perjury). In 1971, the bureau added Section 1623 (false declaration before a grand jury or court) as a result of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970. The FBI generally does not investigate perjury arising from criminal cases under the jurisidiction of the Secret Service, Internal Revenue Service, Immigration and Naturalization Service, U.S. Customs Service, Drug Enforcement Administration, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and firearms, and the U.S. Postal Service.

The Bureau added these provision in 1945, 1950, 1968, respectively.
