                       ANOTHER VIEW ON IRS AUDIT

  (Mr. LINDER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. LINDER. Mr. Speaker, the gentleman who just spoke referring to 
the IRS audit of the course did not point out that this may be the only 
college course given for credit that has been audited in the history of 
this country. I wonder why. The IRS is also auditing the Christian 
Coalition, the National Rifle Association, and Pat Robertson. I wonder 
if they are auditing the AFL-CIO.
  This is perhaps the most biased, the most tendentious, the most 
politically active IRS in the history of this country. And the chairman 
of the Committee on Ways and Means has a right to ask for an 
explanation. He did not order anyone to stop. He asked for an 
explanation. It is time that they explain their political activity.
