On the recordMay 25, 2000
I want to applaud my friends on the other side of the aisle for working with us together in a bipartisan fashion to finally put an end to this Spanish-American War tax as we go into the 21st century and which is a barrier to telecommunications and an unfair tax that should have been repealed a long time ago. It was put in as a temporary tax and a temporary luxury tax at that. Finally we are getting rid of it.
