I am deeply concerned that recent cuts to the IRS budget are jeopardizing its ability to carry out this vital mission.
The IRS must be funded at a level that enables it to provide necessary taxpayer assistance and to enforce the laws.
I am concerned that with our budget difficulties we will continue to see declining budgets for Defense Nuclear Non-Proliferation activities in favor of Weapons Activities.
I believe it is time for this subcommittee and others to give serious thought to the way the IRS is funded.
