                      IT IS TIME FOR THE IRS TO GO

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Madam Speaker, an investigation revealed that 16,000 
IRS employees illegally used their computers. The report states IRS 
agents spent 50 percent of their time at work on personal business. If 
that is not enough to service your revenue, IRS agents illegally used 
their computers for shopping, stock trading, gambling and pornography. 
Unbelievable.
  Think about it. While 60 percent of taxpayer calls to the IRS go 
unanswered, the IRS agents were watching Marilyn Chambers do the Rotary 
International. Beam me up here. It is time to pass a flat 15 percent 
sales tax and abolish this gambling, porno-watching IRS completely.
  I yield back the internal rectal service of the United States of 
America.
