MEMORANDUM TOt Colonel White
1. Attached is the letter to the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue which the General Counsel suggested should be forwarded
after signature by the Director.
2. I attended a meeting in the Finance Division during which
problems in connection with the implementation of such a program
were discussed and I think many of the issues were clarified and
certain contemplated procedures were much simplified during the
course of the discussions. I understand that there is a meeting
today between a representative of the Comptroller's Office and the
General Counsel which will, in part, attempt to outline and provide
solutions for the problems which will be encountered in the implement-
ing of this program.
3. One point which was raised which I would like to bring to
your attention, is the fact that if the decision is reached to effect
deductions by withholding for calendar year 1955, such deductions
would have to go into effect beginning 5 December 195 for ptaff
Agents and for the payroll period beginning 1 December 195f for the
Contract Agents. If deductions are to be effected for 1955, almost
immediate action will be required to secure information for the
field equivalent to Standard Form W-4. If it is not desired that
payroll deductions be made effective for the calendar year 1955,
then there will be no major mechanical problems from the Finance
Division standpoint which require immediate action.
Li.. There are certain policy questions which will have to be
resolved and authorities granted, such as:
a. Can we withhold tax when contracts state "no taxes
will be withheld"
b. Authority to make arbitrary adjustments of field
allotments to cover tax requirements, and so forth A
It is recommended that the attached file be forwarded to the
Director with your recommendation for si an., ture.
