Bob Bennett: “If Secretary Abernathy is right and the law is clear, the law is clear.”

I can understand the impulse for a moratorium. I am not at all sure that a blanket moratorium as broad as this one will produce any higher degree of safety than a more targeted kind of thing.

If you call an IRS agent for advice on your taxes, there is a very good chance you will get wrong advice and end up in tax court.

I think the outcry would be very, very strong. There is a huge conflict of interest here, and such an individual should not be included.

I would urge you to have conversations with whatever 'elves' within the administration you deal with, over at OMB, because I think that's where the decision was made.
