Frank Lautenberg: “Take my wife's word for it. I am not hard to hear.”

Treasury and the IRS are vital to America's future prosperity.

We must meet this challenge with our full commitment.

I'm proud to have written the only Federal law on ocean acidification--'The Federal Ocean Acidification Research and Monitoring Act'.

I am deeply concerned that recent cuts to the IRS budget are jeopardizing its ability to carry out this vital mission.
