Buchanan inquired if, in view of the fact that the settlement ‘“in- volves a great corporation in which | current reports state that the sec- retary of the treasury holds a good bunch of stock,” Bond did not |think he was disqualified from par- ticipating in such negotiations. Bond said that the general forcement of the law was in the hands of the commissioner of in- ternal revenue, over which the sec- retary, through his assistants, had je supervisory powers.
