                            MAKE MY OVERRIDE

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. A spokesman said the White House will reform the IRS 
and any congressional bill that goes too far will be vetoed; ``veto,'' 
the magic word. I expect to see Groucho's duck any day here.
  Beam me up, Mr. Speaker, and it is time for Congress to take a stand. 
Who is kidding whom? The White House reforming the IRS would be like 
Barney Fife trying to reform Al Capone. My colleagues know it, I know 
it, and the American people know it.
  Let us tell it like it is. If the President wants to carry water for 
the Internal Revenue Service, let him, and it is time for Congress to 
strap on the six-shooters and tell the President, ``Make my override. 
Veto this.''
  Let us straighten those bums out.
