have been with you through the night, and will be with
you through the difficult days to come.
The United States government is doing everything it
can to search for survivors and find out the causes of
this accident.
�Chief-of-Staff Leon Panetta has just met in the
White House situation room with all the agencies
involved, and he has just finished briefing me on our
response. I have asked him to ensure that our federal
response is prompt and effective.
Right now, the Coast Guard, the National
Transportation Safety Board, the FAA, and the FBI are
on the scene of the crash. As of now, no survivors have
been found. Hundreds of rescue personnel rushed to
help in pitch dark, lit only by the flames of burning
wreckage, and we thank them for their brave work in
treacherous waters on behalf of the people on that flight.
�We do not now know what caused this tragedy.
Our investigators are only beginning the painstaking

Just last night, the divers who are braving the
depths of the Atlantic to search for answers recovered
both flight data recorders. Our experts are analyzing their
contents at this very moment. This is a major step
forward in unraveling the mystery of TWA 800.
�INSERT -
P.3
We have listened to the victims' families. While much
has been done by many to assist them, they believe and I
agree that there should be a place in the Federal
government that has the responsibility and the capability
to assist victims' families in tragedies like this on^ I will
work with the Congress to make it happen.
�In the meantime, I would ask every American not to jump
to conclusions. This investigation is moving forward with
great care and^Mt^Hter determination. -*m**m*mL

While we seek the cause of this disaster, we must not wait
to alleviate the concerns of the American people about air
safety and security. In the wake of the Valuejet crash and
TWA 800, that concern has increased. The safety record
of U.S. aviation in unmatched in the world. Air travel
remains the safest means of transportation. But that's of
little consolation when a single crash » whatever its cause
~ can take so many lives.
�steps to improve aviation safety and security
example, we proposed a detailed plan to overhaul and
modernize the air traffic control system. We've worked
with the airline industry to identify and correct safety
problems... hired more than 200 safety inspectors and
budgeted for 258 more... and issued uniform safety
standards. We began field testing new high tech explosive
detection machines in San Francisco and Atlanta. We
significantly increased security vigilance at our airports.
And the FAA created a new government and industry
panel to review airline security. hich yftft for tlyrfiyat
•Sj/ eadjp/this rj^ntlT^
�Today, I am announcing new measures to increase the
safety and security of air travel.
First, I have ordered the Secretary of Transportation to
issue new directives on airline security that cover
intemational and domestic flights, and apply to passengers
and cargo. From now on, we will hand search more
luggage and screen more bags,with certified doto^tiuu
equipment. «Fi'om iimrea, we will require pre-flight
inspections for any plane flying to orfromthe United
cargo Mldf,
States — every plane, every cabin^very time.
�Second, I have asked Vice President Gore to
a
commission to review aviation safety, security and the
modernization of the air traffic control system. The Gore
Commission will work with the NTSB, the Departments
of Transportation and Justice, industry advisory groups
and concerned non-governmental organizations. The Vice
President will report his initialfindingson aviation
security to me in 45 days — including an action plan to
deploy new high technology inspection machines that can
detect the most sophisticated explosives.
�I want to stress again that we do not know why TWA 800
crashed. If it proves to be a mechanical failure, additional
safety measures may be required. If it proves to be a
criminal act, other security steps majoj&ed-*©. be taken.
Whatever needs to be done ~ we will do it. I will d^iwy
part u
the full powers of the presidency. And if
Congressional authorization is required, I know that
Congress will give me its fiill support.
�The steps we are taking today — and others we may take in
the future ~ could increase the inconvenience and expense
of air travel. We will do everything we can to minimize
these costs ~ but net nt thff nyprmrfi^f the safety and
security of the American people^ That ij
first priority.
We are privileged to live in a time of great change and
remarkable possibility. But we are notfreefromperil.
Our responsibility as Americans is to pull together and
work together in the face of tragedies like the crash of

PRESIDENT WILLIAM J . CLINTON
REMARKS ON WELFARE REFORM
[BRIEFING ROOM]
July 31, 1996
�Good afternoon. When I ran for President four
years ago, I pledged to end welfare as we know it.
Today, the Congress will-^B^^vote on rcal,-bipr^isaru
welfare reform legislation thatylj-kses up to that promise^
^^witbsign it into law. At4^%=laat, wcwill transform a
v
broken s;y^terr|\ m^pttt^people-to wark so they can eam
a paycheck, not draw a welfare check.
^••^r^u^ck
This legislation is far from perfect; there are parts
of it that are wrong, and I will address them in a
minute. But, on balance, this bill is a real step forward
~ for our country, for our values, and m^fif-trPrrll, for
the people who are on welfare.
�We-aig4aeittg~our best chance to=give those on ^welfare
wiiat we want ibi all Americans: the uppoitunity-to
sueeeed_aL-home-and--at-wQrk.
I have worked to reform welfare for more than 15
years, as governor and as President. I have spent time
in welfare offices, and I have talked to mothers on
welfare who desperately want the chance to work so
they can support their families and make it on their
own. I concluded a long time ago that the current
welfare system is-broken in fundarm
�For decmtespfie~^llarc~DyE^^
undermine^ our
basic values of work, responsibility, and family^ P^s
trapping generation after generation in dependency and
hurting the very people it was designed to help. Today,
we have an historic opportunity to make welfare what it
was meant to be: a second chance, not a way of life ~
N
and)J believe we have a dutyttir^. - ofeA^_vuJr^ ^ i s v u ^
b
Over the past three and a half years, I have done
everything in my power as President to promote work
and responsibility. We have worked with 41 states to
launch 69 welfare reform experiments.
�We have required teen mothers to stay in school,
required federal employees to pay child support, and
cracked down on people who owe child support and
cross state lines. Child support collections are up 40%
since 1993, to a record $11 billion. And there are 1.3
million fewer people on welfare today than on the day I
took office.
From the outset, I have also worked with members
of Congress in both parties to achieve a national welfare
reform bill that will make work and responsibility the
law of the land. I made my principles for real reform
quite clear: It should be, first and foremost, about
moving people from welfare to work.
�It should impose time limits on welfare. It should give
people the child care and health care they need to move
from welfare to work. It should crack down on child
support enforcement, and it should protect children.
This legislation meets every one of these principles.
It gives us a chance that we have never had before to
break the cycle of dependency that has exiled millions
of our fellow citizens from the world of work that gives
structure, meaning, and dignity to our lives.
�We have come a long way in this debate. It is
important to remember that not so long ago — at the
beginning of this very Congress - some wanted to put
poor children in orphanages and take away all help from
mothers just because they were poor, young and
unmarried. Last year, the Republican majority in
Congress sent me welfare legislation that had its
priorities backwards: it was soft on work, and tough on
children. It failed to provide child care and health care,
and it imposed deep and unacceptable cuts in school
lunch, child welfare, and help for disabled children.
That bill came to me twice. And I vetoed it twice.
�The bipartisan legislation before the Congress today
is significantly better than the bills I vetoed. Many of
the worst elements I objected to are out, and many of
the improvements I asked for are in.
First, the new bill is strong on work. It provides $4
billion more for child care so that mothers can move
from welfare to work, and protects their children by
maintaining health and safety standards for daycare. It
gives states powerful performance incentives to place
people in jobs. ^ » d i requires states to hold up their
end of the bargain by maintaining their own spending
<
on welfare^ ^ ^ ^ ^ _ ^ f ^ ^ ^
7
" ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
�Second, the new bill is better for children. It keeps
the national nutritional safety net intact, by eliminating
the Food Stamp cap and optional block grant. It drops
the deep cuts and devastating changes in school lunch,
child welfare, and help for disabled children. It allows
states to use federal money to provide vouchers to
children whose parents can't find work after the time
limit. And it preserves the national guarantee of health
care for poor children, the disabled, pregnant women,
the elderly, and people on welfare.
�Just as important, this bill continues to include the
child support enforcement measures I proposed two
years ago — the most sweeping crackdown on deadbeat
parents in history. If every parent paid the child support
they should, we could move 800,000 women and
children off welfare immediately. With this bill, we
will say to parents: If you don't pay the child support
you owe, we will garnish your wages, take away your
drivers license, track you across state lines, and if
necessary, make you work off what you owe.

So I will-sign4his-k§idation,i7rc^ae4t givi^ us
-fe^best-chanee we have ever had to move people from
welfare to work, because it demands responsibility, and
because it does better by children.
�But I want to be very clear: -Some parts of this
legislation/go too far, aad=^^^aF^just plamrwreng. I
am determined to see those areas corrected.
First, I am concerned that although we have made
great strides to maintain the national nutritional safety
net, this bill still cuts deeper than it should in nutritional
assistance for working families^ In the budget talks, we
reached\agreement on $21 billion in Food Stamp cuts,
which are included in this bill. But the Congressional
majority has insisted on another cut we did not agree to
- the excess shelter deduction, which helps some of our
hardest-pressed working families./V People in thiaCountry
snould ^e^eidiasieito^choose^^
10
�This provision is a mistake, andJ will fight to correct
it.
Second, I am deeply disappointed that the
Congressional leadership insisted on attaching to this
extraordinarily important bill a provision that will hurt
legal immigrants^ and that has absolutely nothing to do
with welfare reform. V ^ ^ ^

13
�The business community must provide the private sector
jobs that our people need to build good lives and strong
families. And all of us must rise to this challenge and
see this reform not as a chance to demonize anyone, but
as an opportunity to help bring every one fully
participate in the prosperity and the promise of
American life.
And we here in Washington must continue to do
everything is our power to reward work and to expand
opportunity for all of our people.
14
�The Earned Income Tax Credit, which we expanded in
1993, is rewarding the work of 15 million working
families, and I am pleased that Congressional efforts to
gut this tax cut have been blocked because of this
legislation. Now , we must increase the minimum
wage, which would benefit millions of working people,
most of them women. Through all these efforts, we
should recognize that, as I said in 1992, the best poverty
program is a job.
15
�I want to congratulate the members of Congress of
both parties who set aside partisanship to work together
on this welfare reform legislation. If we put politics
aside and work together, we can meet our challenges,
protect our values, and do what's right for the country.

PRESIDENT WILLIAM J . CLINTON
WELFARE REFORM BILL SIGNING
THE WHITE HOUSE
AUGUST 22, 1996
)
�Thank you Lillie. We met 10 years ago when
Lillie came to a meeting of the nation's governors. As
I mentioned a couple of years ago in my State of the
Union, she said something back then that I will never
forget. She told us that the best thing about being off
welfare is that when her son goes to school and they
ask what does your momma do for a living, he can give
an answer. Look at her now. She is doing what we
)
want all Americans to do — she is succeeding at work
and at home. And her children are following her lead.
Lillie Harden has been a powerful role model for her
children. And we are here today because we want to
see work transform the lives of more families the way it
has changed this one.
)
- 2-
�For too long, our broken welfare system has
undermined the basic values of work and responsibility
and family. It has done the most harm to the people it
was meant to help. Above all, it has exiled entire
generations and communities from the world of work
that gives structure and purpose to our lives. Almost
30 years ago, Robert Kennedy said, "Work is...the
meaning of what the country is all about...^We need it
as individuals, we need to sense it in our fellow
citizens, and we need it as a society and as a people."
He was right. From now on, our nation's answer to
the greatest social challenge of our time will no longer
be a never-ending cycle of welfare — it will be the
dignity, the power, and the ethic of work.
)
-3-
�Today, we are taking an historic step to make
welfare what it was meant to be — a second chance, not
a way of life. The bill I am about to sign is far from
perfect, but it has come a very long way. Congress
sent me two previous bills that failed to protect children
and did too little to move people from welfare to work.
I vetoed them both. This bipartisan bill is much, much
Detter on both counts.
l
)
The new bill restores America's basic bargain of
providing opportunity and demanding responsibility in
return.
It provides $14 billion for child care — $4
billion more than current law. This is important
because without the assurance of good child care, it is
all but impossible for a mother to go to work.
)
-4-
�It requires states to maintain their own spending on
welfare reform, and gives them powerful performance
incentives to place people in jobs. And it gives states
the capacity to create jobs by taking money now used
for welfare checks and giving it to employers as
subsidies as an incentive to hire people. This bill will
help people go to work so they can stop drawing a
welfare check and start earning a paychecl^.
This new bill is also better for children. It
preserves the national safety net of food stamps and
school lunch. It drops the deep cuts and devastating
changes in child protection, adoption, and help for
disabled children.
)
- 5-
�And most important, it preserves the national
guarantee of health care for poor children, the disabled,
the elderly and people on welfare - ^ W ^ m ^
This bill also includes the tough child support
enforcement measures I proposed two years ago, the
most sweeping crackdown on deadbeat parents in
history.
For a lot of women and children^ the only
reason they are on welfare is that the father just up and
walked away. That is wrong. If every parent paid the
child support they should, we could move 800,000
women and children off welfare immediately.
)
-6-
�With this bill we say to parents, if you don't pay
the child support you owe, we will garnish your wages,
take away your drivers license, track you across state
lines and, if necessary, make you work off what you
owe.
Now, let me be clear: Some parts of this bill go
too far and I am determined to correct thegi. First, the
bill cuts deeper than it should in food stamps, especially
for working families with children. We reached
agreement on a smaller food stamp number in the
budget talks and we should go back to it. Second, I am
deeply disappointed that the Congressional leadership
insisted on deep cuts in help for legal immigrants.
.)
-7-
�These cuts have nothing to do with welfare reform.
It is wrong to say to people who work hard and pay
*Os£\ip*J^Jfe-C^ l^J. (TUTU-
taxes — if^you become disabled or your children need
help, we are not going to give you assistance anymore.
I am confident that in the months ahead, a strong
bipartisan consensus will emerge to come back and fix
these misguided provisions. In the meantime, I will
direct the INS to keep working to remove Jhe
bureaucratic roadblocks to citizenship for all legal
immigrants who are eligible. And I will seek other
remedies to mitigate the impact of these cuts.
I will do everything in my power to make sure that
this bill lifts people up and does not become an excuse
for anyone to turn their backs on this problem.
)
-8-
�Never again will we let the welfare issue be used to
divide America. Never again will we let welfare be a
code for blame or an excuse to do nothing.
From this
day forward, let us pledge our values and our hearts to
a common effort to put every citizen on the road to
independence.
The historic step we take today is only the
beginning. Now that we have finally begiyi to expect
)
work, we must make sure that people have the chance
to go to work. If we truly value work, all sectors of
our society ~ businesses, non-profits, individuals and
those
in government \- have a responsibility to see
to it that the jobs are there and that people make it in
the workplace. That is our challenge.
- 9-
�I have worked hard over the last four years to steer
jobs and capital to the places that need them most
through our empowerment zones, community
development banks and^urban brownfields clean-up. In
the days and weeks to come, I will have more to say
about our plans.r ^i^iilh^ufiWAti^ — nobody wants to
get off welfare/more than the women and children who
^
are trapped 01/ it, and we owe them the chance to build
a better l i f e ^ ^ t r u j ^ / v ^ j ^ y / x .
That means states must shoulder the responsibility
they asked f o r ^ ^
)
^ ^ - ^ ^ f t ^ o ^ -
- 10 -
�We will hold them accountable, and insist that
every state uphold its duty to move people from welfare
to work, and do right by our most vulnerable citizens,
including children and battered women.
That means the business community lhas a
J
(MJ^UOM*
responsibility to provide jobs so that people on welfcSre"^
can build good lives and strong families. Jhis bill
)
gives states and businesses a powerful incentive to take
the money that used to be spent on welfare checks and
use it as wage subsidies to hire people off welfare.
That's a good deal for business; a good deal for the tax

Today's announcement by NASA is the product of
years of exploration and months of intensive study by
some of the world's most distinguished scientists. Like
all discoveries, this one will continue to be reviewed,
examined, and scrutinized — as it certainly should be. It
must be confirmed by other scientists.
I am determined that the American space program
—-thiougli which humanity first touched another world
- will put its full intellectual power and technological
prowess behind the search for further evidence of life
on Mars.

�First, I have asked Administrator Goldin to ensure
that this finding is subjected to a methodical process of
further peer review and validation. Second, I have
asked Vice-President Gore to convene, at the White
House in November, a bipartisan Space Summit on the
future of America's space program. A significant
purpose of this summit will be to discuss how America
should pursue answers to the scientific questions raised
by this finding. Third, we are committed to the
aggressive plan we already have in place for robotic
exploration of Mars. America's next unmanned mission
to Mars is scheduled to lift off from the Kennedy Space
Center in November; it will be followed by another in
December.
�It is well worth contemplating how we reached this
moment of discovery. More than four Billion years
ago, this piece of rock was formed as part of the
original crust of Mars. After billions of years, it broke
from the surface and began a 16 Million year journey
through space that would end here on Earth. It arrived
in a meteor shower thirteen thousand years ago. And
in 1984, an American scientist on an annual U.S.
government mission to search for meteors on Antarctica
picked it up and took it to be studied. It was the first
rock picked up in that year — Rock 84-001.
�Today, Rock 84-001 speaks to us across all those
billions of years and millions of miles — and it speaks
of life. If this discovery is confirmed, it will surely be
one of the most stunning insights into our universe that
science has ever unlocked. Its implications are as farreaching and awe-inspiring as can be imagined. Even
as it promises answers to some of our oldest questions,
it poses still others, even more fundamental. We will
listen closely to what it has to say . . . as we continue
the search for answers and for knowledge that is as old
as humanity itself.

STATEMENT ON THE ECONOMY
THE WHITE HOUSE
AUGUST 1, 1996
�Good morning.
TH£
SEEN
A strong and growing economy is the best way to
offer opportunity to every American who is willing to
work for it.
Today, we received fresh news that our economy
(S^uu cor
^tv^^c^Hi
is growing at a strong 4.2 percent rate.j^ This robust
growth — 4.2% — is touching the lives of all our
people, with 10 million new jobs, low unemployment,
and inflation in check. This is very good news for
America. It is more evidence that the economy
continues to surge ahead, and our economic strategy
is working.
�THE PRESIDENT H S SEEN
A
Four years ago today, the economy was drifting;
unemployment was nearly 8%; job growth was weak;
and the deficit was at an all-time high. Great American
industries were falling behind.
For the last three years, we have had a
comprehensive plan in place to put our economic house
in order and create opportunity for the American
people. My economic team, which has joined me here
today, has worked day and night to put this strategy in
place^ Eactrycar wc wore bitterly oprposcd by-fhe
fe^ttibliLbm^-Thcy said our plan wuukhri work. But
today's good news shows that the plan we put in place
is the right plan to move us forward into the 21st
century.
�THE PRESIDENT H S SEEN
A
This strong growth is reflected in other ways as
well. American industry is on the rebound. We have
900,000 new construction jobs. Once again, we lead
the world in autos and semiconductors. 4.4 million
people have become homeowners. j^We now have a fo^t^AfcV^
record number of women-owned businesses. Exports
have surged an historic high.
We learned this week
that consumer confidence is at its highest level in 6
years. t^The deficit has been cut by more than half — so
S ^ U s now « . shiest since
hao created 10 millwm new jiybs. And real wages,
which had fallen for a decade, have begun to rise again.

J^KVJ^^UJ^
ul^jftft-
�Strong growth. Low inflation. New jobs. Higher
wages. We have the strongest American economy in
a generation.
But, even as we celebrate this economic good
news, we must remember that we still have more to
do. Yesterday we took a step forward by giving the
American people a welfare reform bill that, though not
perfect, offers our best chance to move people from
dependence to independence while giving them a real
opportunity to succeed at work and at home.
�THE PRESIDENT H S SEEN
A
I am pleased at the progress Congress has made
toward the passage of other critical measures to give
our people the capacity to make the most of this
growing economy.
'he Kassebaum-Kennedy bill will give millions of
Americans access to health insurance,
an increase
in the minimum wage will honor work and family
I
call on Congress to finish its work on both of these bills
before leaving town.
�THE PRESIDENT H S SEEN
A
Today's news shows that our economic strategy is
working. Our economy is growing. America is moving
in the right direction. This is not the time to make
radical changes to reverse our discipline on the deficit,
:
3isqp^lp--sfWf^political- points ^rrthe'iieat-ofJh'is
We must not turn our backs on the progress we
have made toward balancing the budget, creating jobs
and raising wages. The American people do not want
to go back to where we were four years ago. We know
our plan is working. We must press forward.
Thank you.

REMARKS ON THE ECONOMY
ROBERT MORRIS COLLEGE
PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA

A
�^
Acknowledgments: Rep. Frank Mascara: Pittsburgh
Mayor Tom Murphy: Allegheny County Comm'r Mike
Dawida; DenFcong^and. Ron DiNicofet; Robert Morris
College Pres. Dr. Edward Nicholson.
~
I know that today is a very sad day here in Pittsburgh:
Jim Leyland [Lee-land] is managing his last^game for the
^
Pirates. He has given the "Bucs" 11 years and 3 division
championships. He worked hard; never asked for credit;
and quietly built a reputation as one of the best in the
game. We all wish him the best.
�Go£
auto industry leads the world again. 900,000
new construction jobs. A record number of new small
businesses ~ and now 8 M businesses are owned by
women. From semiconductors to airlines, in the industries
that will dominate the new century, America leads the
way.
Unemployment has been cut by 1/3, and is at its
^
lowest rate in 7 V years. Combined rates of unemp., infl.,
2
mortgages lowest in 28 yrs. The economy has created
II
over 10M jobs - 1 §8,000 of them in Pennsylvania. These
are jobs with a future: more than half of America's new
jobs are in high wage industries.
�(
What I have said this all aciuss oui' comitfyrisJEuein
-PtttsfaurghT-and-I will say it to you here today: America's
economy is on the right track. We are moving toward the
21st Century with confidence and conviction that our best
days are ahead.
Now America must keep pressing forwards We can
%
nsser-be satisfied unless our economy grows fasternWess
our livmg standards-keep-risingrunle^
^
fee opportuni^4o join in our-prosperity.
Abo¥o all,-we-must r^cogniapfeat the private sector
is the engine of growth^- and the be^t way to keep-our
eeenomy^grmvihg, steady and strong, is to balanccLtlie
hudgetr
8
�(
We have cut the deficit by 60% —> lower mortgage
rates, lower credit card rates, lower car payments,*more
job creation. The budget would be in balance^today but
for the interest payments on debt that was run up in 12 yrs
before I took office.
Now we mustfinishthe job and balance the budget. I
(
have proposed a plan to balance the budget while
reflecting our values . . . honoring our parents/Medicare ..
strengthening our families/Medicaid .. . giving our
children a future by expanding education . . . and passing
on the Earth God gave us by protecting the environment.
�My plan: targeted tax cuts for the times that families
need them most ~ to pay collge, raise children, health
care, homebuying. And every one paid for, line/line, ^f^^
dime/dime. We can balance the budget in a way that ^ ^ ^ ^
reflects our values ~ and we must.
As-you know, our opponents have put forward a risky
tax scheme that would force even deeper cuts in MMEE
than the ones I stopped last year. Even that wouldn't be
enough: so their scheme would blow a hole in the deficit.
GOP economists: retreatfrombal bud = 2% spike in
interest rates. America cannot afford to imperil our
prosperity and put our progress at risk.
10
�(
The second thing we need to keep doing is to make
sure Americans can be winners in the new global
economy. Export-related jobs pay more than other jobs.
That is why we have concluded nearly 200 trade
agreements to open markets to our products and services
- and exports have surged by 1/3 to a record level.
America's workers and businesses are the best in the
world, and if other nations will give us fair andfreetrade,
nobody can hold us back.
11
�If you want to save for a home, these bonds will
enable you to start saving now, without worrying
about inflation. And if you want to save for
retirement — or if you are retired — these bonds will
guarantee that a lifetime of savings will be as solid as
the word of the U.S. Treasury. These Inflation
Protection Bonds can be a solid rock on which families
can build their futures and their dreams.
Today we are taking two more steps to help all
1
families save. First, by (Iff 1'mrlof ncurt year, the Treasury
will issue inflation-protection savings bonds — bonds as
small as $50, that employers will be able to offer through
payroll deduction plans.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
TODD STERfOrn
SUBJECT:
Taxpayer Bill of Rights 2 -- H.R. 2337
You are scheduled to sign this bill tomorrow afternoon in an Oval Office ceremony. The
bill, based largely on Administration proposals, is an extension of the original Taxpayer Bill
of Rights, enacted in 1988, and establishes new procedural rights for taxpayers in dealing
with the IRS. It passed 425-0 in the House and by voice vote in the Senate and has been
cleared by OMB, Treasury, Justice and White House. Key provisions:
Uurden of proof. Shifts burden from taxpayer to IRS on issue of whether taxpayer gets
attorneys fees and costs when taxpayer prevails i.e., IRS has to prove its action against
taxpayer was justified.
Civil damages. Maximum damages against IRS increased from $100,000 to $1 million for
IRS collection actions that intentionally or recklessly violate the law.
Settlement of tax disputes. Increases from $500 to $50,000 amount IRS can accept as a
settlement without needing a written opinion from IRS Chief Counsel.
IRS collection activities. Gives IRS greater latitude to withdraw a tax lien or return
property against which a tax levy has been issued.
Interest and penalties. Increases from 10 to 21 days the time a taxpayer has to make
delinquent payments of less than $100,000 before being charged interest. Bill also grants
IRS authority to waive interest charged on unpaid taxes where interest accrued because of
unreasonable errors or delays caused by IRS "managerial actions" (such as personnel
transfers, unfilled positions, etc.). And IRS decisions not to waive will now be appealable to
the Tax Court.
Taxpayer advocate. Replaces Taxpayer Ombudsman. Reports directly to IRS
Commissioner and submits two annual reports to Congress: one on objectives for upcoming
year, one on activities of prior year. Reports are to be submitted directly to Congress
without prior review or comment by IRS Commissioner or Secretary of Treasury - a
provision to which Treasury objected.
Retroactive regulations. Retroactive regs are generally prohibited with exceptions for regs

that (i) were issued within 18 months of enactment of a statute to which the regs apply; (ii)
prevent abuse; or (iii) correct procedural defects.
�Secretary Rubin introduces; IRS Commissioner
(
Richardson; other acknowledgments to come.]
I would like to especially thank Senator Pryor, who
has made the improvement of our Internal Revenue
Service his mission for the last 10 years. David, I
never doubted that you would finish this work before
leaving the Senate. Your service to our nation has been
exemplary. Thank you, my friend.
I applaud the leadership of all those who have
worked for so long to make the second Taxpayer Bill of
Rights a reality.
�Both Democrats and Republicans have championed
the mission of improving the way the Internal Revenue
Service works for the American people. And because
we have all worked together in bipartisanship toward a
common goal, the clear winner is the American
people.
This legislation represents an important step in our
ongoing effort to improve the tax system from the point
of view of the consumer, the American taxpayer.
The collection of revenue is mentioned in the
Constitution as a central function of government. But,
nobody likes to pay taxes.
�Taxpayers have a right to feel that every dollar of their
hard-earned money is working for them. We must
make sure that the IRS does not tangle up the American
people in red tape, that it is never arbitrary and that
taxpayers are treated with the respect to which they are
entitled.
We're getting there. More than 70 percent of taxpayers
already pay at a 15 percent flat tax rate. Many of them
use a form that finally lives up to its name: The 1040
EZ form is now "EZ" to understand and follow. It is
one-page long, and if that's too much, people now have
the option of filing without any paperwork at all. All
they need to do is pick up the phone.
�Of the more than 20 million people eligible to file the
EZ form, more than 2.8 million people filed by phone,
in under 10 minutes. That is tax simplification.
Many others taxpayers filed on-line. This year,
more than 12 percent of all filers - nearly 15 million
Americans - filed their individual returns
electronically. And for those with refunds coming,
they got them in as little as 21 days. It used to take
about 10 weeks to get a refund. Now, even for people
who file on paper and in the mail, a refund can be in
hand in 40 days. And for those who take advantage of
a new direct-deposit of refunds, it can be in the bank in
as little as 10 days. More than 10 million people took
advantage of that this year.
�We are injecting common sense and fairness into
the process of filing taxes.
As Secretary Rubin said, the legislation passed
eight years ago, the first Taxpayer Bill of Rights, set
down the groundwork. And now, with the legislation I
will sign today, we take the next step in the right
direction, to make sure that taxpayers are better
informed and better served. The least we can do for
consumers is to see that they are treated professionally,
fairly, and judiciously. This bill contains 41 specific
actions on behalf of taxpayers. Already, we've
implemented 17 of them by Administration action since
January.
�For example, now we are truly empowering the
"Taxpayer Advocate" office at the IRS with increased
authority to help taxpayers to resolve disputes, to get
refunds for people facing hardships, and to stop
collection actions. And we already require the IRS to
inform divorced or separated spouses when it attempts
to collect joint taxes from the other spouse.
This bill will make it easier to appeal tax liens, and
make it easier for the IRS to correct errors when a tax
lien is part of the collection process. Taxpayers will be
able to recover attorneys fees if improper action is
taken against them. And a taxpayer would have a
longer grace period to make a tax payment without
owing any interest.
�With the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, we say to
America's taxpayers: When you deal with the IRS, you
have privileges and we respect them. You have
protection, and we will help provide it. You have
rights, and we will shield them. And here they are,
"Your Rights as a Taxpayer," plain and simple and
loaded with common sense.
�They tell our taxpayers: Your rights will be
protected. Your privacy will be honored. You will be
treated with courtesy. You are entitled to
representation. You pay only what you owe by law no more and no less. You are entitled to get help with
special problems. You have the right to appeal your
case, even to a court. You can be relieved of penalties
if you or an IRS worker acted in good faith but made
an honest mistake.
The IRS Commissioner has put this declaration at
the very front of the main publication that goes to
taxpayers contacted by the IRS.
�And on this foundation, we will continue to build
trust in America's tax system and to improve the way
we manage the collection of taxes. Our people work
hard to earn what they have. Our goal is to let them
know that government will work hard, too, to give
them the best service it can.
And now, I will sign the "Taxpayer Bill of Rights
2."
