On the recordJuly 10, 1996
I believe there is overwhelming support for the taxpayers bill of rights bill. I know one of the principal architects of that legislation is Senator Pryor from Arkansas. But there was objection heard to it because I understood maybe there were amendments that were being considered to be offered to that bill. I understand now that maybe that is not true. I know that Senator Pryor, Senator Ford, and I think maybe Senator Grassley, and others, are working to see if we can get agreement on that. That is something that we clearly should do to give the American people some further rights with regard to how they are dealt with by the Internal Revenue Service. That is something we should do, and it is long overdue.

My recommendation to the Congress and to the president would be, quit campaigning, quit having press conferences. Sit down at a round table and negotiate a deal.
