Treasury Probes Free Entry Abuse by Returning Officials
Treasury examines the long standing practice of granting freedom of the port to returning officials and diplomats. Assistant Secretary Seymour Lowman finds no statute authorizing the privilege and notes it has been discretionary and based on international practice. The 1920 regulations limited free entry to duties relief and did not guarantee luggage exemption. Congress members could only be granted the privilege on official business abroad.
