There is a Ways and Means Task Force on Foreign Source Income. They have hired a New York lawyer who works both on this and on a Task Force on Capital Formation. There is no regular staff for the Task Force, but they simply draw from the Ways and Means staff and that of the Joint Committee on Internal Revenue Taxation. The Committee is Chaired by Congressman Rostenkowski and includes Vanik, Pickle, Helstoski and Cotter, among the Democrats (Helstoski was defeated and I am not sure Cotter has returned" . The Republica~n?membee .are Conable, Vander Jagt and Frenzel. Pete tells me that this ep eAis not gung ho on anything in particular. They are having enough trouble simply getting out a report. Nothing formal has been published. He thinks that State may have talked to one or two individual congressmen who may have expressed their own opinions, but Pete is not aware of any groundswell of enthusiasm for taxing Government employees' allowances. He promised to keep me informed if he learns anything, and I am sure he will make some inquiries.
