EXPLANATION OF PURPOSE OF POSTPONEMENT OF FURTHER CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 
      1528, TAXPAYER PROTECTION AND IRS ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2003

  (Mr. BLUNT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BLUNT. Mr. Speaker, the purpose of this request to postpone votes 
or further consideration of the bill until a later time to be 
designated by the Speaker is just simply to allow the Members, and 
families that are in town and intend to go with them, to go to the 
picnic at the White House this evening. By moving these votes until 
tomorrow, we allow that to happen, and I hope that allows the family 
members who are here and intending to go to this event with Members to 
have as much of the evening as they anticipated having.
