On the recordMay 7, 1998
First just a brief commentary, if I might, to say that Senator Roth and Senator Kerrey did the country a wonderful service by the reform measure that was put through to try to assure the public that Congress listens, the Government listens, that people should be treated fairly at all times; that there is no excuse for rudeness and inappropriate pressure on those people who pay their taxes. They are the constituents and we are here to serve them. I commend both Senators, the managers on both sides, Senators Roth and Kerrey, for a job well done.
