Overseas Americas Week, June 5: On our last day, we met with the staff of the Speaker of the House, had a lunch with Scott and Bree from FVAP, and took our traditional photo with the donkey and the elephant. We will have a full report of our activities that will be announced in an upcoming News & Views.

Overseas Americas Week, June 4: Today was a bit complicated; we added the offices of Todd Young, Mark Warner, Ben Ray Lujan, Rick Scott and, Mike Crapo on top of the others already scheduled. We were running like mad with double and triple meetings. We also had a meeting with the office of speaker Johnson. Topics today were focused on advocating for passage of the Tax Administration bill (Taxpayer Assistance and Service Act), the RBT bill and high FBAR penalties, and reconfirming that the SAVE America Act will not be passed in this Senate. We ended the day with a lovely cocktail at AARO board member Gary and Dominique Zuercher’s place.

Overseas Americas Week, June 3: We finished in the House in the morning, and then moved on to the Senate for the afternoon. It was a busy day. We spoke a lot about the Tax Administration bill, S. 3931, solutions to aid Americans overseas to retain U.S. bank accounts and the Commission on Americans Abroad. Of course, the RBT bill and voting were ever present. We topped off the day with a wonderful dinner with SDFCU, hosted by President and CEO Jim Hayes, Diego Hernandez, Director of Retail Business Development, and Corey Nischan, Branch Manager and part of the Overseas team.

Overseas Americas Week continues... June 2 topics discussed: Lots on the RBT bill, asking people to sponsor it when it is reintroduced; also covered financial reporting (FBAR and FATCA) and access to banking in the U.S. We didn’t say much on voting as the House has already voted for the SAVE America Act, but we did raise it with one congressional office to tell them that overseas citizens should have the same exemption as the military.
June 3: Breakfast preparation meeting, Stacey Plaskett’s office, traditional photo of Doris and Elvis at Titus office, Fred and Doris heading to the Senate.
More tomorrow!
