President Clinton failed to appoint members to an
Internal Revenue Service Oversight Board mandated by
Congress in 1998, WorldNetDaily has learned.
The IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 became
law on July 22 of last year giving the president six
months to appoint members to the Oversight Board,
according to Trent Duffey, spokesman for the House
Ways and Means Committee. The six-month deadline
was Jan. 22 of this year.
"They (the White House) were supposed to pick an
independent oversight board six months after enactment,
and it's now over a year," said Duffey. "They opposed
the creation of an independent oversight board from the
very beginning. Only with great stubbornness by (Rep.
Bill) Archer and (Sen. William) Roth were we able to
keep that in the final law. They have yet to forward any
names."
Rep. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, a key architect of the 1998
IRS Reform law, believes the president's failure to
appoint members to the board is a cause for concern.
Commenting on the passing of the one-year anniversary
of the IRS reform enactment, Portman said, "The
administration's continued failure to follow the law and
nominate members for the Oversight Board should be a
source of concern to all taxpayers. Over the years, the
IRS has been remarkably resistant to change. The
Oversight Board is needed to ensure the IRS is held
accountable for its actions, taxpayers are treated fairly
and the reforms are sustained over time."
