“Mr. Speaker, I would, first of all, like to thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Coyne). It has been wonderful to work with the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Coyne) and also the Members of the Democratic group. As Peter Druker has always said that all great ideas ultimately degenerate into work, and as a result I would like to thank Mac McKenney on our side, Hugh Hatcher, and Beth Vance. They have done a wonderful job, but particularly the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Coyne). It has been wonderful to work with him. Also I would like to thank my associates, the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Portman) and the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Hayworth) who will be speaking and also the gentleman from New York (Mr. Rangel) who is the full committee ranking Democrat. Now I am not going to review the bill's 25 provisions. That would take too long. Instead, let me give some examples of what this bill would do. I would like to describe some of the stories we have heard at the Subcommittee on Oversight, and I want to explain what some of these provisions mean to real taxpayers.”
