On the recordJuly 16, 1996
Under the subcommittee's assumptions, we believe there will be sufficient funds provided for all of the IRS' current computer systems. Our bill assumes significant savings in this account, for instance, by reducing funds for travel, supply costs, and telephone costs. I also note that, since the bill reduces IRS employment by over 2,000 TSM employees, we assume this will save $149 million next year. These savings are applied to operating IRS computer systems, so our cuts are made to salary and overhead costs, not to computer systems.
