Abstract
Encouraging investment of foreign capital in securities issued by American companies does not always marry well with preserving the integrity of the tax system. The interaction between the anonymity sought by some foreign investors and the disclosure required to enforce the law reminds one of the prophet Ezekiel's vision of a wheel within a wheel, and Shakespeare's Hamlet, which contains a play within a play. For today's topicwhich claims neither the elegance of Shakespeare's drama nor the obscure fascination of Ezekiel's vision--contains a problem within a problem.
