SPECIAL JOINT EXCISE TAX COMMITTEE 



It had liccn suggested that the General Tax Committee might 

 very properly take care of all tax matters connected with asso- 

 ciation work, including the excise tax situation, particularly for 

 the reason that it is desirable to have a small committee well 

 versed in this specific phase of the tax subject and available for 

 frequent conferences with the management of the Association. 

 The Board approved the suggestion and requested the general 

 manager to notify the General Tax Committee that the scope of 

 its activities was enlarged to include excise tax matters which 

 had been given attention by the former Excise Tax Committee.
