On the recordNovember 13, 1997
I am proud to be able to report to the people of eastern North Carolina that when it comes to providing real relief for the American taxpayer, this Congress is finally taking steps in the right direction. Last week, the House passed an IRS reform bill giving taxpayers new and important protection in their dealings with the IRS. This legislation represents a significant step toward providing the American people with the relief they deserve from their unfair tax burden, but it is not enough. In order to truly act in the best interests of the taxpayers, this Congress should abolish the lengthy and complicated Tax Code and create a shorter, more concise Tax Code. I urge my colleagues to continue to work for real tax reform and to support the termination of the Internal Revenue Code. Let us give the American people a simpler and fairer tax system. The taxpayers deserve relief.
