            TOWN MEETING TOPIC: UNFAIR ABUSE OF POWER BY IRS

  (Mr. PAPPAS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. PAPPAS. Mr. Speaker, the American people are willing to pay 
taxes, they are willing to pay their fair share, but what they are not 
willing to do is to pay unfair taxes. And, Mr. Speaker, as one of my 
colleagues mentioned just a few moments ago, we passed just this past 
week a bill to reform the IRS.
  This Saturday, I along with many of my colleagues are holding open 
houses or town meetings. I am holding five in the 12th District in 
central New Jersey, and I hope that viewers from my district that may 
see this may call my office to participate, talk about what they view 
as unfair abuse of power that the IRS may have taken, and to seek my 
help in trying to cut through some redtape. I would encourage people to 
call my office, 908-284-1138.
