                               IRS REFORM

  Mr. LAUTENBERG. Mr. President, first just a brief commentary, if I 
might, to say that Senator Roth and Senator Kerrey did the country a 
wonderful service by the reform measure that was put through to try to 
assure the public that Congress listens, the Government listens, that 
people should be treated fairly at all times; that there is no excuse 
for rudeness and inappropriate pressure on those people who pay their 
taxes. They are the constituents and we are here to serve them. I 
commend both Senators, the managers on both sides, Senators Roth and 
Kerrey, for a job well done.
