Misa Gandy The Executive Committee The International Association of Chiefs of Police a a Member: At a meeting of the Board of Officers in June, Inspector Cahalane called attention of the Board to the possible implication / of the Port Authority case referred to in the attached memorandum. 7 4. The Port juthority“aecteton was handed down May 16 by the U.S." Supreme Court. Briefly, the Court decided that/Gerhardt, an ,- employee of the Port Authority, was liable for federal income taxes. Since its announcement, many people have had a chance to study this decision, and there is a growing belief that the decision is ex- V sees important, particularly when considered side by side with President Roosevelt's message of April 25. In this message, the President recommended reciprocal taxation of federal, state, and local salaries and bonds. Whether the IACP should take any action on this matter, and if so, what it should be, are matters which will be presented by Inspector Cahalane at the Executive Committee meeting on August 28. At this time I am attaching a brief memorandum which will give you a background of the whole picture.
