Rev. Rul. 69-454 

A nonresident alien individual (not a resident of Canada, Mexico, or Puerto
Rico), is an employee of a corporation in the United States and his wages
are subject to income tax withholding under section 3402 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1954. 

Held, the nonresident alien individual is entitled to only one withholding
exemption for purposes of computing the amount of income tax to be withheld
from his wages under section 3402 of the Code, since under section
3402(m)(3)(E) of the Code, any withholding allowances to which the employee
might otherwise be entitled under section 3402(m) of the Code are to be
treated as withholding exemptions that are subject to the limitations of
section 3402(f)(6) of the Code.
