Vol. 11 No. 38 Des Moines, Iowa January 10,1983 All-Out W ar Rages on Withholding ULL-SCALE war has been de clared by banks, thrifts and others on the portion of the 1982 Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibili ty Act that requires withholding at source of 10% of interest or div idends due a customer. While the new Congress was scrambling for committee assignments last week, a nationwide blitz was underway urg ing bank and thrift customers to write their Congressmen and de mand repeal of the withholding pro vision. Backing the unprecedented effort is a broad-based coalition in Wash ington, D.C., meeting on an ad hoc basis, composed of financial associa tions (ABA, IBAA , S&Ls, CUs), consum er groups, stockholder groups and a couple of E D P associa tions. This coalition is coordinating efforts to work with Congressmen who will sponsor repeal legislation. Foremost among the many Con gressmen who advocate such repeal are Sen. Robert Kasten (R., Wis.) and Rep. Norman D ’Amours (D., N.H.). Congressman D ’Amours was waiting last week for the number HR 1099 to surface so he could claim it to identify his bill calling for repeal. He and Sen. Kasten were early opponents of that portion of the 1982 Tax Bill last summer. The American Bankers Associa tion has prepared an extensive kit for use by member banks. It con sists of suggested advertising, F speeches, statement stuffers, reply cards and letters, fact sheet, lobby ballots and other material. ABA in itially ordered 5,000 of the kits, based on previous legislative campaigns. They were gone at once; another 5,000 is almost gone and an addi tional 2,500 were being rushed to completion last week. A BA furnished kits to 8,000 in dividual banks as of last week and others were still coming in. In addi tion, some state associations had re quested bulk shipments for total state-wide action by the association. Individual orders ju st for ballots and statement stuffers were placed by 1,000 banks, A BA said, and the orders were mounting. All in all, A BA has printed and distributed on order of banks a total of 12 million pieces in the kits and individual ballot orders. It is further estimated that thrifts and credit unions together also have distributed 12 million pieces of lit erature in the repeal drive. The Independent Bankers Associ ation of America has mounted its own grass-roots campaign, pro viding statement stuffers to go with monthly mailings or with 1099s. IBA A reports that 2.5 million of these had been ordered as of last mid-week by thousands of IBA A member banks. Demand was so heavy that temporary help had to be hired at the Sauk Centre, Minn., of fice which handled the mailings. The IBA A mailing to customers pro vides a tear-off portion that may be addressed to the individual’s Con gressman or Senator. Many banks were also conducting in-house balloting so that the public could drop a ballot or sign a petition in the bank or one of its offices. IBA A reports a W est Virginia mem- lllinois Bankers Assn, is making these cards available to the public. My Dear Senator: I worked hard to build up my savings in my bank. I look forward to seeing my interest grow and compound. The action taken by Congress to withhold 10% of my interest affects me directly and I don’t like it. You can do me and the taxpayers of this country a great service by introducing, sponsoring, or supporting legislation to repeal the withholding of interest provision of the 1982 tax increase bill.
