That, while the present is limited to ordering the existing legal provisions, which refer exclusively to matters of organization and operation of the new body, the provisions of article 99, paragraph 3, of the National Constitution do not contravene.
That at present many provisions of the legislation in force are incorporated in order to contain in a single regulatory body all the rules that make the organization and operation of the FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION OF PUBLIC INCOMES.
