U. S. Law Affecting Americans Living and Working Abroad

Description

A legislative effort by Senator George McGovern required the President to conduct a thorough study of laws governing U.S. citizens abroad. This report by President Jimmy Carter was the first under that law - a painstaking review of the many legal provisions affecting U.S. citizens residing abroad. Issues include loss of citizenship by children born abroad, income tax, social security, veterans benefits, and many other matters – and very little has changed since the report was written, so this is still a valuable legal guide for any American taking up foreign employment or residence.
