I work at the Stanislaus County Office of Education in Modesto, California. We have a tax I.D. number assigne d to our agency which is also the umbrella tax I.D. number under which the various school districts in our county report. A local bank is requesting a copy of the original authorization of this tax I.D. to our agency. Since this was assigned many long years ago, we cannot locate it in our business office. What person/department/number at the IRS should I contact to seek a copy from the IRS archives of this original authorization?    Sandy Putnam, Director/External Services,   (209)525-5058
