      AMERICA UNDIVIDED: TAXPAYER IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, the American people are divided over the 
crime bill; the American people are divided over the health care bill; 
the American people are divided yet over term limits; the American 
people are divided over NAFTA; the American people are divided over 
GATT.
  Mr. Speaker, there is one bill that the American people are 
absolutely united over. A recent poll says that 97 percent of the 
American people agree that Congress should change the tax law and pass 
H.R. 3261, which says a taxpayer is innocent until proven guilty; 97 
percent say they want Congress to change the law because now a taxpayer 
is guilty and has to proven themselves innocent, and they have had it.
  Sign Discharge Petition No. 12; 97 percent of the American people say 
if it is good enough for the ``Son of Sam,'' it should be a good enough 
law for mom and dad. Discharge Petition No. 12.
