“Yes. I am not surprised. We pay our bills--or we ought to pay our bills. As I said, it would be unseemly to bring a measure of this kind to the floor saying, ``Let's manage these matters better,'' and not manage to pay for it. That is welcome news, and the Senator has my cooperation on that, to be sure. Finally, Mr. President, I am going to ask Senator Kerrey to manage the legislation on our side. As I said, he was co-chairman of the National Commission on Restructuring the Internal Revenue Service. Their superb report, ``A New Vision for the IRS,'' which was issued last June--11 months ago--has led to the work we are doing now, which we bring to the floor with pride and with the expectation that we will be successful. On that note, sir, I yield the floor.”
