“I think we can make it better. Chairman Roth mentioned a couple things we can do. We had good hearings. Actually, the hearings that promulgated a lot of the IRS reforms happened in the Senate, not in the House. Our House colleagues, as the Constitution provides, initiates revenue measures. So they have acted and they have acted promptly. I congratulate Chairman Archer, who I think does an outstanding job as the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. The House has done good work and passed a good, bipartisan bill. Likewise, we can do good work in the Senate and pass a bipartisan bill. We might do better. We might add and build upon what the House has in their legislation. We heard from a lot of things. Mr. Dolan, the acting Commissioner of the IRS, had some suggestions, brought out some points. We had witnesses who talked about IRS abuse. I think we can build upon some of the changes that the House has advocated and make a better bill, but it may take a little bit of time to do it. I would like to do it and do it right.”
