On the recordApril 15, 1997
Tonight we gather in a special order on a special day. Today is of course April 15, the day the tax man cometh, and as I speak Americans across this land are scrambling to reach the post office by midnight tonight, scrambling to fill out those last forms and read those last instructions and those complicated booklets, trying to fulfill their duty as an American and to file their income taxes as required by law. Tonight I am joined in this special order by my dear friend and colleague from Colorado Dan Schaefer. Dan Schaefer and I just came back from Boston, MA earlier today. We traveled to Boston, MA, the site of this Nation's birth of freedom for a very special reason on this April 15. Today in Boston Harbor Dan Schaefer and I were joined by three of our colleagues who came to Boston and have joined us in support of a very important idea that we wanted the Nation to begin thinking about and to begin debating this year.
