Re: Treasury Department Tax Reform Proposals
Dear Mr. Baker:
We urge you to immediately take a strong position against the tax
reform proposals recently issued by the U.S. Department of Treasury.
The uncertainty of future legislation is causing havoc in the in-
vestment community. This uncertainty is likely to result in an
acceleration of the recessionary pressures already building in
the present economic climate.
We believe that if enacted, certain provisions contained in the
Treasury proposal would create a disincentive for capital informa-
tion, thus greatly damaging the economy of the United States.
This in turn will cripple the construction and development in-
dustries resulting in the loss of millions of jobs, and ultimately
creating a severe housing shortage and higher rents for millions
of tenants across the United States. The proposal is economically
damaging and ineffectual and conflicts with the underlying philo-
sophy of the Reagan administration and re-election. I, therefore,
urge you, in the strongest terms, to publicly oppose the recent
Treasury proposal.
Sincerely,
ARSundments A. R. Grandsaert
