On the recordNovember 15, 2001
So, in closing, this amendment is flawed. It will allow new Internet access taxes. It will force the collection of Internet access taxes going back to 1998. It will allow taxing on content. And it comes at a time when the economy is tanking. For goodness sakes, we cannot even get an economic stimulus package passed, and the first thing we do, late on a Thursday night, is look at ways to get more people laid off. I hope we will vote, in a bipartisan way, against the Enzi amendment. I yield back my time.
