The IRS should be above reproach.

A taxpayer who has been treated unfairly should have somewhere to go, someone to fight on his or her side, someone to make the agency listen.

Every taxpayer... will have a tax collection agency that is reinvented so that it serves its customers and taxpayers every bit as well as the best private companies serve their customers.

He knows better than that. I think he may be disappointed in the results of the hearings. He now has more evidence. If he wants to have more hearings, he's got them. But let Senator Thompson comment on what's in those films. He has 100,000…

Only a fool would speak after both a Baptist minister and a rabbi.

Today, because of the voluntary action of the firearms industry, millions of our citizens will receive this protection.

I encourage all Americans to commemorate this occasion with appropriate programs and activities paying tribute to Casimir Pulaski and his contributions to the cause of American freedom.

I pledged to do all I could to help heal the injured, to rebuild the city, and to stand by the people of Oklahoma City.
