Sec. 969. Contempt proceedings

    In case of contumacy by, or refusal to obey a subpena issued to, any 
person, the Secretary of the Treasury may invoke the aid of any court of 
the United States within the jurisdiction of which the investigation is 
carried on or of which the subpenaed person is an inhabitant, carries on 
business or may be found, to compel compliance with the subpena of the 
Secretary of the Treasury. The court may issue an order requiring the 
subpenaed person to appear before the Secretary of the Treasury there to 
produce records, if so ordered, or to give testimony touching the matter 
under investigation. Any failure to obey the order of the court may be 
punished by the court as a contempt thereof. All process in any such 
case may be served in the judicial district whereof the subpenaed person 
is an inhabitant or wherever he may be found.
