Matter for Congressional Consideration
| Matter | Status | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Considering the possibility that Treasury will decide to use the USDA system on an agency-wide basis, as well as the telecommunications difficulties experienced by IRS in making the conversion from the Burroughs to the Sperry system, the Senate Committee on Appropriations, Subcommittee on Treasury, Postal Service, and General Government may wish to explore current IRS justification for these funds. |
Closed – Implemented
|
