I would like to just tell the gentleman he is misinterpreting my remarks. I did not say just throw it into the deficit, because he knows and I know that doing away with the alternative minimum tax is a big revenue hit on the Federal Government and we are going to have to find a way to pay for that. We would have done this a long time ago if it was not such a huge figure. All I am doing is trying to reach out to you, who agree that the alternative minimum tax should be done away with permanently, and say let us work together and figure out a way to do it and do something. We used to do things in a bipartisan way. Why can we not do it again? {time} 1330

I guess that challenge would go in both directions. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Chocola).
