Independent Computer Consultants Association Joins In Lobbying Effort

(St. Louis, MO, June 23, 1995) The Independent Computer Consultants
Association (ICCA), a national trade association announced its affiliation
with the Computer Software Industry Association (CSIA), a national
legislative and regulatory monitoring organization. CISA and ICCA will
concentrate on issues affecting the independent computer consultant, such
as Section 1706 of the IRS Code.

The ICCA's affiliation will be of tremendous benefit to independent
computer consultants across the country, allowing for input and action on
issues affecting them as small business owners. Additionally, the
explosive growth of the computer industry, the use of computers and the
increasing uses for computers has generated frequent discussions in
Congress about new legislation and regulation. The ICCA, in conjunction
with CSIA, will be able to provide a viewpoints and comment on any of
these new proposals.

"This new affiliation has already proven its value," states ICCA President
Kenneth Pugh. "CSIA informed us immediately of legislation introduced by
Representative Christensen of the House Ways & Means Committee. The bill
creates definitive tests for the IRS to differentiate between an
employee/employer versus a contractor relationship. These tests replace
the ambiguous tests of Section 1706, which have caused problems in the
past for our members. We are informing our membership immediately of this
bill. "

The ICCA is a non-profit organization, with approximately 1500 member firms
and 23 chapters across United States. The ICCA's mission is to support the
success of independent computer consultants in providing professional
services to their clients.
