(1) verify the identity of any person seeking to open an account, to 
the extent reasonable and practicable, (2) maintain records of the 
information used to verify the person's identity, and (3) determine 
whether the person appears on any lists of known or suspected 
terrorists or terrorist organizations provided to the broker-dealer or 
mutual fund by any government agency.
