The decision to drop the expatriation tax provision from the final conference version of the bill has been the subject of much debate over the last week. I certainly don't presume to speak for the other conferees. But for myself I repeat as I have said on two occasions on this floor over the past week: We should proceed with care when we are dealing with human rights issues, particularly when the group involved is a despised group--that is, millionaires who renounce their citizenship for money. As the Senator who first proposed the expatriation tax provision, I will see this matter through to a conclusion.
