let me start with our excited i get when i see an ita machine. >> or when it sees you? >> right. because i get to go through fairly quickly. i have an official knee. i have to be padded doubt everywhere there's not an ait machine. i'm always disappointed, i've been in several and i realize it's not operable. i've now started asking every time as these machines are sitting idle, and without fail, madam secretary, the people, i ask for the supervisor, always very polite and what a great job they're doing, how trend the supervisor in miami actually said to me, can you help us? we never have personnel to operate it, because it takes too many people, and we just don't have enough people here. one supervisor told me it took seven people to operate it. another said it took five. i'm confused why we would be spending money on deploying these machines, and i look and there seems to be an inconsistency in the numbers. at one point it said, 6.5 to operate one's them's in your budget request it looks like it's 2.5. i'm confused how many people it takes to operate the aits and we shouldn't de

if itas to be paid for by some tax increase in some other area, i'm willing to consider doing that. so believe we need to simplify, but ilso think it would be a big mistake if we don't reduce the rates. of course the u.k. is reducing their rates. canada, i understand is going to 16%. so if we're at 28, 27, after we've adjusted, we are still way above that, and a company making a decision of where to produce a product might well choose another country than our own country to produce that product and cost us jobs. mr. chairman, that's kind of where i am. i don't think i'm prepared to support just a tax simplification of the corporate rate, because i believe the entire world is recognizing that the corporate rate is a job factor, a big job factor. and i think, in terms of the laugher factor, if you want to call it that, reducing the corporate rate, i believe, is as one of our colleagues said the other day, a study has come out if you reduce that rate, you get more economic growth than you would in almost any other place in the economy. thank you for your leadership. thank you for this
