my constituents in the third district of North Carolina have expressed their appreciation for this Congress for passing the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform bill, which awaits the President's signature. This is an opportunity for President Clinton to sign into law legislation that protects American taxpayers from IRS abuse and prove to the American people that he is willing to work with this Congress to provide substantial tax reform for all Americans. The IRS Reform bill is long overdue legislation that would shift the burden of proof from the hard-working American taxpayer back to the IRS where it belongs. In addition, taxpayers will receive 74 new rights and protections that will help reduce the power of the Internal Revenue Service and bring fairness to a corrupt system. I urge the President to sign the IRS Reform bill and to work with the 105th Congress to continue providing hard-working Americans with a tax relief they need and rightly deserve.

I want to talk about the graveyard of empires. I think that is what they say about Afghanistan and the history of Afghanistan.
