On the recordNovember 6, 1997
I think Senator Kerrey's assessment of the House-passed language is correct. It is good language. But I certainly agree with the chairman of the Finance Committee. We had outstanding hearings conducted in a very fair, bipartisan way that said we should do more. I think Chairman Roth said we want to do more, demand to do more, and I think we can do better. The House passed a very good bill. We passed a better bill. I tell my colleagues. We want to continue to work together in a bipartisan fashion to pass really good IRS restructuring reform in this Congress. I hope and expect we will.
