                                THE IRS

  (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 IRS, in denying the 1996 tax return 
and refund to Pamela Damon, said, Pamela Damon, you are dead. You have 
been dead for 26 years. Now, if that is not enough to bury your 1040, 
Pam went to the Social Security Administration. They called the IRS and 
they said, Pam is here in our office, she is alive. They said, Pam's 
presence is not enough. She is dead as far as the IRS is concerned.
  Beam me up, Mr. Speaker.
  I recommend that Congress do two things. No. 1, hire a proctologist 
to perform brain scans on all those morticians at the IRS. And No. 2, 
pass H.R. 367, that simply transfers the burden of proof to the IRS.
  Unbelievable. Pam Damon is alive.
