williams, that we thank floyd williams for all his years of service. we're going to miss him. he's been a tremendous asset to not just the congress but to the american people because of the service he's provided to the irs as the go-between between your agency and the congress. we want to say, floyd, thank you for all the service you've provided over the years. one more thing. your initiative on tax prepares. that universe of people out there who were representing themselves as competent, qualified to prepare american tax returns and get paid to do it. we know there's some great ones. but we know there have been some that have just ripped off the american public. it's hard to believe that you need a license to cut someone's hair, but in america you don't need a license to prepare someone's perhaps most important financial document. so i thank you for the initiative to try to bird dog that industry and make sure competent folks are the ones that are preparing our taxes. i am distressed. as i said and listen to what you're saying, you've lovett 5,000 employees, your butt was cut

members of the club included jefferson davis, william corchoran, george riggs, george washington park, governor john floyd, seward and many others. the club was located in what had previously been known as the rodgers mansion adjacent to the house on madison. this house ultimately became the civil war era residence of secretary of state, william seward and one of the victims of the lincoln related assassination attempts. another story known by most folks familiar with 19th century washington, revolves around the violent shooting of a washington club member, phillip barton key. the son of francis scott key by daniel sickles. according to published sources, james retrieved key's withering body from the sidewalk and brought him inside. the prosecution of daniel sickles was handled by one member of the club, robert old, as the district attorney. the defense of sickles was handled by another member, edwin stanton. soon to be secretary of war under president lincoln. both of these men would figure prominently in james' life during and after the war. stanton regularly would be in contact with james while he serv
