The VICE PRESIDENT. Without ob-

Mr. METCALF. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent that, at the next

from Alaska [Mr. GRUENING] and the
junior Senator from Wisconsin [Mr.
NELSON] be added as cosponsors.
S. 468, introduced on January 24 and
cosponsored by the junior Senator from
Utah [Mr. Moss] would amend title 23

Mr. CANNON. Mr. President, at the
time I introduced Senate Resolution 48,
which would create a standing Commit-
tee o4 Veterans' Affairs, the name of the
distinguished Senator from,Florida [Mr.
HOLLAND] was omitted from the resolu-

Senator from Florida has been a con-
sistentsupporter of that work since 1951.

icing functions of its office in Cheyenne sonnel from the Cheyenne Internal Revenue
to Denver, to effect purported economies Service Office to Denver, Colo. The alleged
of centralization. I realize that Wyo- reason for this move is economy. In Itself,
ming has fewer than 400,000 people, and this is an admirable objective. However, I
that we are continually doing things in have been discussing the effects of this move
with several Wyoming tax practitioners; and
citizens of my State are deserving of
consideration In this matter.
The F deral income tax, by Its very
nature, a fairly personal thing. Those
who have problems with their taxes-
and it is not difficult to have such prob-
lems--can most easily explain their
problems to a civil servant who is fa-
miliar with their way of life. There Is
no better way to understand the prob-
lems of an area than to live In It.
Furthermore, Mr. President, I do not
believe it fair to require a citizen to
travel an additional' distance to another
State, to obtain assistance in settling a
tax question. The payment of taxes,
even in support of the most equitable
government, should be with the mini-
mum of pain and discomfort.
The 'general taxpayers of Wyoming
would suffer most by this move, but
there would also be considerable suffer-
ingon the part of employees who would
be required to move to another city. I
realize that when one accepts Govern-
ment service, one also accepts the
chance that moves will be made.
However, in this case the move would
be especially onerous because It is un-
justified. The loss of capital in selling
a home on a market that is at the
moment unfortunately depressed, the
loss of Income for women employees who
cannot leave husbands and families, and
the loss of local Income caused by the
.removal of several families, all combine
to make real hardship for the employees
involved, for the city of Cheyenne, and
for the State of Wyoming.
Mr. President, In view of these facts,
I have determined to oppose this move
With all the resources at my command.
I Intend to carry my convictions to the
Internal Revenue Service, and I would
ask the support of the Members of this
body in this cause.
' 1 should 'like to see an immediate
decision made on this matter. No one
likes to live under a cloud of uncertainty;
and nothing would be worse for the
they are of the opinion that the removal of
supervisory personnel to Denver will work to
the detriment of the citizens of Wyoming.
Of course. there is an actual financial
detriment involved in that several families
will be moved from Cheyenne to Denver.
However, the real detriment results from
removal of the supervisory personnel. These
are the people that handle the first appeal
from the ruling of an agent. Therefore,
future appeals will be made to people residing
In Denver who have no knowledge of the
cattle or oil business. The local practition-
ers Inform me that this is not a "paper tiger."
The second level appeal people are now in
Denver and seem to have little understanding
of Wyoming problems. In the past. Wyoming
taxpayers have been able to receive fair treat-
ment because the Internal Revenue Service
people lived in this state and understood
its problems. To quote one local tax man,
"Some of our problems eventually rubbed
off on them."
An additional effect probably will be the
removal of certain agents from Casper to
Cheyenne. While we are always glad to
have these people, we do not want them at
the expense of Wyoming taxpayers.
Finally, the end result of this move will
be that all auditing functions will be con-
centrated In the bigger cities with all of the
evils that come from centralization of gov-
ernment. The Wyoming taxpayer will no
longer have any contact with the people who
are auditing his return. Furthermore, it will
then be necessary to travel to Denver to dis-
cuss a problem. If we are still a state. It
would seem that we are entitled to be treated
as one and retain some contact with those
who are reviewing our tax problem.
The Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce be-
lieves that this is a serious problem and
should be given immediate attention. Per-
haps you will be able to learn the exact
extent of the proposed move so that we will
be able to more definitely pinpoint our
objections.
Yours truly,
March 1 J,
come a modified district, with Denver as its
servicing district. Our purpose in writing to
you is to inform you of the impact and effect
of this change on the employees involved.
Most of the published information relates
only to the few managerial and supervisory
positions to be affected. The transfer of
service functions, however, would also in-
volve many other positions. Informed esti-
mates indicate that from 35 to 45 families in
Cheyenne are directly concerned, and that
the reduction in local payroll would be in
excess of $250,000 each year.
It Is true that many of these people would
be offered similar positions in other districts;
however, many of them, such as married
women, would not be able to move. Another
real problem would be that most of those
who could move would have to sell their
homes in an already depressed real estate
market. ~
The employees are not convinced that the
change relating to small districts is wise.
They believe that very little of the estimated
$5 million annual saving relates to this part
of the change, that it will result in a decrease
in service to the tax-paying public, and that
the impact on them personally is therefore
not justifiable. Many of their comments are
summarized in the attached copy of a letter
to our National Executive Secretary. If you
prefer, many of our employees would be
happy to write to you direct, but we thought
that incorporating their problems into one
letter would save you time.
Secretary Dillon has recently postponed
any implementation action until after he has
reviewed the change in the light of the
protests received. We hope that you will
agree with our opinions and that you will do
what you can in our behalf.
Very truly yours,
W. L. VICKERS,
President, Local Chapter 31.

DEAR Ma. BURSAOH: As you know, Com-
missioner Caplin's special message to all em-
ployees of March 5, 1963, announced certain
modifications in the field structure of the
Internal Revenue Service. Cheyenne, as 1
of the 12 small districts, is to be a modified
district, with much of our staff and service
support to be furnished by the Denver Dis-
trict. The purpose of this letter Is to in-
form you of our local employees' reaction to
this change., Copies are being furnished. to-
gether with cover letters containing ad-
ditional Information, to Senator McGee. Sen-
ator Simpson, Congressman Harrison, Gov-
ernor Hansen, and Cheyenne Mayor Bill
Nation.
Many, although by no means all, of our
people's comments relate to personal prob-
lems and hardships which they envision,
some because of individual circumstances
and others related to the present economic
situation in Cheyenne. Both kinds are In-
cluded In the following summary, which I
believe is a representative excerption. Most
of the selected comments quoted were ex-
pressed, in varying forms, by several em-
ployees. I am summarizing them In one
letter in order to give you a concise picture
of thepresent morale problems here.
"Perhaps some of the regional offices and
service centers could be advantageou'ly com-
bined, but it doesn't necessarily follow that
the small district offices aren't performing
a useful function in fully serving the com-
munities and States in which they are lo-
cated. Further, even though a reduction
of management functions in the small dis-
tricts might be justified, It would not fol-
low that the servicing and support functions

DEAR SENATOR McGxx: On March 5, 1963, in
a Special message to all internal Revenue
Service employees, Commissioner Caplin an-
nounced certain changes in the field struc-
ture of the internal Revenue Service. In
brief, the New York region Is to~ be absorbed
by the Boston region: the Omaha region is
to be absorbed by the Chicago region; cer-
tain districts are to be shifted from one
region to another; 4 districts are to be
absorbed Into other districts in the same
States; and 12 small districts which are
now separate entities are to become modified
districts, with much of their managerial and
servicing funotions shifted to an adjoining,
larger district. The Cheyenne District, com-
prising the entire State of Wyoming, is to be-
morale of these Federal employees than
to be kept on pins and needles for months
and months while these matters are
discussed.
Mr, President, the proposed move Is
unfair and unnecessary. I propose that
it be abandoned at once, and that these
employees be relieved of their anxieties
and returned to the service of the tax-
payers of Wyoming.
I ksk unanimous consent. Mr. Presl-
dent, to have printed in the RECORD three
letters, which I have received in recent
days, reflecting upon'this situation.
