SEASIA-L Graduate Students or recent Graduate Students at US universities:
The following proposed tax law changes may be of financial interest to you
and I encourage you to contact your Congressperson to support this bill.
As many of you felt in your wallets, tax changes in the '80s really did a
job on the incomes of grad students on various assistantships at U.S.
institutions. As this forwarded message indicates, there is a move afoot to
re-establish the exempt status of stipends. Unfortunately, I don't know
anything more than what is contained in this notice I received on an
anthropology list.  -- Karl Rambo  Bitnet: AA0492@uokmvsa.bitnet

House of Representative Bill H.R. 4418

[Source: Friday, 26 June 1992 13:38:06 EDT
 "Rahman A. Soomro" <rahman@alpha.ces.cwru.edu>]

     There is a bill, currently being considered by the U. S. House of
Representatives which would RETURN THE STIPENDS OF GRADUATE STUDENTS TO
A TAX EXEMPT STATUS.  Prior to the Reagan-Bush (No New Taxes!) era, Graduate
Student Stipends were not taxed, and Tom Lewis (R-
Florids) has proposed a bill which not only would make stipends TAX-EXEMPT, but
would also RETURN ALL TAXES PAID SINCE 1986 on Grad. income.  The Bill is H.R. 4
418 and is currently under consideration, though I am not sure if it has cleared
committee or not.
     To support the bill, call or write your local congressman and ask them to
support it.
     If you do not know who your rep. is, call (800) 347-1997 (THE FEDERAL INFOR
MATION CENTER) and ask.
     Come on folks, lets support our own interests.  All this has about gone
far enough, don't you think?
     Please put this out on every listserver that you have access to.
