AMERICAN FARM BUREAU FEDERATION, Hon. HENRY STEAGALL, M.C., House Office Building, Washington, D.C. MY DEAR CONGRESSMAN STEAGALL: Owing to the sessions in Washington of the National Agricultural Conference during the week of April 9, it was impossible for me to appear at the public hearings to support your measure, H.R. 9045, to amend the revenue law so that national banks may be subject to tax by States. This inability to appear to support your measure does not mean that the American Farm Bureau Federation has withdrawn its support of this legislation. For approximately 10 years the federation has sought to amend section 5219, Revised Statutes of the United States, in the way which your present measure will accomplish if enacted into law. The federation hopes that the measure may be moved speedily through both Houses of Congress to final enactment. Very truly yours, CHESTER H. GRAY, Washington Representative.
