# Prohibition Enforcement Bureau *Federal enforcement office named in one at-issue pair of the Minnesota record.* The Prohibition Enforcement Bureau appears in the Minnesota record as the office where a former congressman from [[Minnesota]]'s 7th District became legal adviser after he lost his House seat in 1922.[^1] One at-issue pair in the pack names the bureau. The pack has no Wikipedia section, Time Table row, history entry, statute text or case row about the bureau's structure, mandate or dates of operation. The pair connects the bureau to the [[Volstead Act]]. It says the Act was drafted by the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, a member from Minnesota's 7th District, together with the counsel of the [[Anti-Saloon League]].[^1] These statements belong to the pair. The record does not establish the drafting history or the appointment through a primary document such as the statute text or an appointment record. ## Who The pair identifies the bureau's legal adviser only by office. He was the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee from Minnesota's 7th District, and he lost his seat in 1922.[^1] The pack does not name him or any other official of the bureau. It does not give his party. ## What The pack names the bureau only in connection with the Volstead Act. The pair describes the Act as running twelve thousand words and thirteen years. It says the Act closed the saloon culture of a county that was 78.85% German in its seat township.[^1] The pack does not identify the county. It also does not state the bureau's enforcement powers, statutory basis or organizational form. ## When The pair places the former chairman's loss of his seat in 1922. It says he became the bureau's legal adviser after that, but it gives no date for the appointment.[^1] The pack gives no date for the bureau's creation or termination. ## How The pair says the Volstead Act was drafted in collaboration with the Anti-Saloon League's counsel.[^1] The pack does not describe how the bureau carried out enforcement. ## In the at-issue record - **Carver package, pair AI-Carver-047 (rank 47; shock 85).** The pair is filed in *Block C — Motordale: The Gesture and the Delivery*. It sets the Minnesota drafting of the Volstead Act beside the drafter's later post at the Prohibition Enforcement Bureau.[^1] The pair is anchored to a May 2026 White House presidential action. The pair gives its reason for that anchor as "the template — a national instrument authored in Minnesota and applied to a Minnesota population".[^2] The pair lists two record sources on the mnhs.org and www2.mnhs.org domains. Their URLs are not in the pack.[^1] ## Notes [^1]: Minnesota wiki at-issue record, pair AI-Carver-047 (Carver package; source file *Motordale 5000 Steelman*, 2026-09-02), *Block C — Motordale: The Gesture and the Delivery* — the pair's own statements: Volstead Act drafting by the 7th District Judiciary Committee chairman with Anti-Saloon League counsel, twelve thousand words and thirteen years, 78.85% German seat township, 1922 seat loss, legal adviser to the Prohibition Enforcement Bureau. Pair-level assertion; the underlying mnhs.org source URLs are not in the pack.
