FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JANUARY 23, 1975
Office of the White House Press Secretary
THE WHITE HOUSE
TO THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES:
I transmit herewith, for Senate advice and consent to
ratification, the Convention between the Government of the
United States of America and the Government of the Polish
People's Republic for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and
the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Income as
well as a related exchange of notes.
I also transmit for the information of the Senate, the
report of the Department of State with respect to this
Convention.
The Convention was signed on October 8, 1974, during
the visit to Washington of Polish First Secretary Edward Gierek
and is the first income tax convention between the two
countries. The Convention is similar to other income tax
conventions recently concluded by this Government and it is
expected to encourage and support the growing interest in
bilateral trade and investment between the two countries.
It provides rules of tax jurisdiction, reduces or eliminates
tax liability in certain cases, ensures nondiscriminatory
tax treatment and provides for administrative cooperation.
I recommend that the Senate give this Convention and
related exchange of notes early and favorable consideration
and give its advice and consent to ratification.
GERALD R. FORD
THE WHITE HOUSE,
JANUARY 23, 1975
