I'm sorry that it was not resolved before Mr. Connolly and I took over the subcommittee.

If we need additional hearings to resolve pending issues we'll conduct that.

I was told that there was representation.

I thought Mr. Ryan said, used the term I try not to use, 'screwed,' because it gets my wife upset, but basically that's what happened, some people got screwed here in this proceeding.

I think it is a great injustice to thousands of people.

I think everyone's had ample opportunity.

I thank the gentleman, both the witnesses and members of the panel for participating today.

Thank you for recognizing me, Mr. Chairman.

this is not a new scandal or problem, it's something that we've seen as an issue for some time.

I look forward to working with the IRS to implement corrective actions that will strengthen taxpayer assistance.

People are stealing from the taxpayer and they're getting away with it.

Mr. Mica. I would grant the full committee chair that time, and we will grant additional time to the minority.
