The Lawmakers April 12, 1984
Representative Boiled down, the legislation has two great values. It helps make a respectful, if not abundant, down payment on our deficits. And it makes some long needed improvement on our tax code.

Activities on the House floor. Wyche Fowler (D - Georgia) As you know, the other gentleman from Georgia, Mr. Jenkins and I, have had the privilege of working on the Ways And Means Committee with you on this legislation.

Harold Ford (D - Tennessee) I join with Chairman and others on this floor in strong support of the legislation. But I do have a little that I would like to exchange with you Mr. Chairman at this time. I wanted to clarify a point that was raised by section 136 of the bill.

Butler Derrick (D - South Carolina) Am I correct that your committee s intent is to reach an agreement in conference with the Senate that will make sure that a farmer will not be disqualified from use of IADB financing merely because he has owned some minimal amount of farmland.

Barber Conable (R - New York) Chairman Rostenkowski said to Charlie Rangel, Chairman of the sub-committee, when that issue came up, You do what you want to, but I want to be sure that Barber Conable, who is very interested in this area, is satisfied with the final result. In other words, he was looking out for me with respect to this admittedly small part of the tax bill because he knew I had a special interest in it.

Thomas Downey (D - New York) I was taken care of, so naturally my support for the bill was almost guaranteed. There were a number of things that were very important to me and my Congressional district and we managed to make some provisions for them in the bill. And the Chairman wants to do that. He wants to have the committee members support his activities. So he understands that there is a certain quid pro quo in that relationship.
