[email protected]. United States Tax Treaty Policy: An Overview* H. DAVID ROSENBLOOMt AND STANLEY I. LANGBEINt EDITOR'S NoTE: The following is a slightly revised transcriptof an April 29, 1980 statement by the then-International Tax Counsel of the Department of the Treasury before the Subcommittee on Oversight of the House Ways and Means Committee. Except for some minor stylistic changes and non-substantive abridgements, it conforms to the Department of the Treasury News release of April 29, 1980, which originally reported the testimony. In the view of the Journal, the discussion of tax treaty policy and provi- sions appearing in the statement - which has not received wide dissemination - merits its inclusion in this InternationalTax Is- sue. Permission to reprint the statements was secured from the authors.
