Ensuring Tax Exempt Organizations the Right to Appeal Act -- Continued

Floor Speech

Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, this amendment is to try to repeal one of
the great ripoffs in the history of this body. We waste $15 million a
year on a catfish inspection office which is not only duplicative but
disgraceful. This is a classic example of protectionism and the kind of
thing we are trying to avoid with a free-trade agreement. It is an
outrage.

Nine times the Government Accountability Office has said this is a
waste of millions of taxpayer dollars. It is outrageous, and I urge my
colleagues to vote aye on the amendment, because it is an absolute
outrage and disgrace.
