Nicolas Khalil Bey

Nicolas Khalil Bey held two separately recorded acting assignments at the Egyptian legation, in February 1933 and February 1935. During the second episode, he asked the State Department how American tax law applied to French bonds owned by the Egyptian government but held at a bank in New York. His memorandum raised the distinction between the financial property of a foreign government and taxable commercial income. ^{1, 2}
