Show THE BEAVER (Utah) PRESS THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1969 Moss Asks For Clarification On Lund Eros. WASHINGTON, D. C. Senator Frank E. Moss CD- Utah) wrote to Treasury Sec retary Joseph Barr asking for an explanation of a Treasury Department regulation which appears to require registration of firearms and ammunition. Senator Mos pointed out tnnat registration of firearms and ammunition was clearly and decisively defeated during the Congressional debate on gun legislation last year. "It is my understanding that the regulations implementing this statute require that dealers obtain proof of the age of the purchaser and that the dealer maintain records show ing the dates and amounts of purchases, together with the identities of the purchasers," Senator Moss wrote. "Such procedures would appear to constitute a registration of firearms and ammunition, a concept which was not included in the Public Law. "In fact,", the Utah Democrat continued, "the Congress refused, by vote, to require registration." Senator Moss said he would appreciate an explanation of these administrative procedures, "including an indication of the statutory authority upon which they are based." "Beaver's Dep't.
