Request for Legislative Support to Relieve Tax Burden on Overseas Americans

The author, an attorney residing in Thailand, is writing to a member of the House of Representatives to express their concern about having to pay U.S. income taxes while living abroad. They believe it is unfair and puts them at a competitive disadvantage compared to citizens of other countries working in Thailand. They request support for a bill that would exclude all foreign earned income for American citizens abroad and urge for legislation to relieve the tax burden on overseas Americans to be included in the first phase of legislation in 1981.
