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.
