Senator ROTHs predecessor. who served here 24 years. and he and I overlapped by 2 years. I was elected in 1968 he retired in 1970. But he used a wonderful expression once in which he said. "We make more mistakes in haste than we lose opportunities in delay." I will give you one mistake we made. This tax provision that we put in the Senate bill only applies to American citizens. We have any number of people who come to this country from Cuba. Italy. Poland. Germany. and they are legal immigrants. They work here. They pay their taxes here.
