    Statement on Congressional Action on Internal Revenue Service Reform
    Legislation
    June 23, 1998

        For months now, I have urged Congress to do more to help the
    American taxpayer. Today I am pleased that the House and Senate have
    finally reached a bipartisan agreement to reform the IRS and strengthen
    taxpayer rights. We need an IRS that reflects American values and
    respects American taxpayers. This bill goes a long way toward that goal,
    and I look forward to signing it into law.
