Congressman Horton discovered that the IRS list of over 140,000 names and addresses of Federally licensed gun dealers and collectors was available for $140 to interested buyers when he investigated an NRA member's complaint that mailed advertising from a commercial sports supply concern and literature from the IRS were identically labeled. The Rochester, N.Y. representative indicated that if IRS did not discontinue this practice administratively, he would introduce legislation on the floor of Congress to prohibit it Rep. Horton wrote IRS Commissioner Randolph Thrower that "your Service is engaging in the sale of total and partial lists of licensed firearms dealers and collectors. Officials of your Service have informed my office that in the neighborhood of 60 such lists, each containing over 140,000 names and addresses of licensees, have so far been soli at about $140 per list "It seems to me that the sale of the name and address of a firearms dealer or collector for any amount of money, least of of a cent per name, is not in the best interests all for of either the licensee, the Federal Government, or the country. This practice, contrary to the Congressional intent expressed in the State Firearms Control Assistance Act of 1968, under which these licenses are issued, would seem to invite thefts and other the whereabouts criminal acts against licensees by of substantial numbers of guns in every city, town and village in America for anyone who can afford the price of a mailing list In addition, the uninvited bulk mail that the sale of these . one-tent- h pin-pointi- ng (continued on page 4) g IX Legal Action against the U.S. Internal Revenue Service was initiated in Los Angeles Federal Court on Monday, April 6, 1970, by the Liberty Amendment Committee which seeks a WRIT OF MANDAMUS to force the IRS to comply with the Constitution and the laws " ', M President Salt Lake NHF In HOWARD C.

Mr. Long: We travel throughout the United States and have each conventions regional We find this necessary year. to keep the public adequately informed on vital matters of health. They are not getting correct information from organizations like the Food and Drug Administration and the American Medical Association. Questioiv Mr. Long, is it true that your organization does a lot of work in the legislative arena? Mr. Long: Yes, unfortunately we have found this to be very necessary. It used to be, of course, that the public was adequately informed; the larger organizations in the country were interested in the public welfare. But now we find it is necessary' to fight these organizations as actual monopolies and consequently have had to resort to the legal (continued on page 9) for the establishment of cernew "innovative" tain in their district Inprograms of controlling local stead school policy, school board members have allowed themselves to become mere putty so-call- ed in the hands of an all-knowi- ng administrator who is, in reality, simply using them as pawns to accomplish selfish and sometimes ulterior ends.
