I was told that two different interpretations were being placed upon the lawone by the field agents and one by the Washington office. The Washington office. which does not directly collect the taxes. claims they were holding that these people were actually residents and therefore subject to the tax. At the same time they admitted their field agents who were actually collecting the taxes were recognizing the temporary visas which these nonresident aliens were legally in possession of as being prima facie evidence that such people were entitled to exemption as nonresident aliens under the law and therefore no tax was collected. They further stated they were calling their field agents In and would instruct them in the new interpretation of the law following the introduction of this bill and then. of course. as I stated. we have the statement of June 28. from Mr. Nunan. which I submit contributes nothing to clarify this situation.
