I think we ought to realize our position and go back to our people and say. "We have voted against a tax bill that we did not need and a tax bill that is poorly drawn and is. unfair in its application" for our last effort was clearly an effort to make some changes that would get more votes for the passage of this measure today. Mr. Speaker. it has now been 9 months since the House Ways and Means Committee began its study of this tax bill. That committee worked on it about 5 months. The Senate gave about 2 months to it. and with all this work and oratory we are raising about $6.000.000.000 in taxes. Just a short time ago this House voted to give $7.000.000.000 to Europe after about 3 hours of debate. We are struggling hard to raise $6.000.000.000. yet we gave awaynot to Americans but to Europeans and Asiaticsmore. than $7.000.000.000 in 3 hours. we had better be careful.
