Kay Bailey Hutchison: “If I could interrupt my good friend from Oklahoma, I absolutely agree with him. I think we need to sit down and work…”

On the recordJuly 14, 1995
If I could interrupt my good friend from Oklahoma, I absolutely agree with him. I think we need to sit down and work together if we can. But, with all due respect, the point that he is making is not even necessary, under this. We are talking about not being able to have a penalty, a fine, or put you in jail. I think that is covered now. If you sit down with the IRS and say, ``I, in good faith, thought I should have this exemption,'' I would expect the IRS and hope the IRS would say, ``No, Senator Biden, you actually owe $220 more.'' And I would not suggest a Senator as smart as the Senator from Delaware would think that is a fine?
