representative larson, to you first. what were some of the main points that were shared with you in these briefings? >> well, i think the overarching theme from all of our members is we understand the role and responsibility that we have as elected officials, but certainly we want to make sure that we're doing everything feasible to protect all those people who work for us. you know, gabe zimmerman lost his live in the line of duty for his country. the impact that this has had all across the country but certainly back here in washington, d.c. has been nothing short of profound as we pray for those who are wounded to get well, we feel a special obligation to make sure that everything is being done within our offices. there's pretty good security here in washington, d.c., but the question is in the outlying districts and back home and in rural and urban and suburban districts differ generally in terms of the response. that's the overall emphasis of our members is to make sure that we come up with both whatever it takes fin

larson and mr. walls should be made in order. we think that what i think was the central promise i heard from the new majority in the campaign should be honored. so many of you ran and were elected on the idea that the national debt is crippling the country, burdening our children, and stifling our economy. it is. it is. so even though we have some disagreements apparently over whether the congressional budget office is right or wrong in the estimates, it's always been the rule through i believe 47 years of congressional precedent under republicans and democrats that the c berk o is the -- cbo is the authoritative arbiter whether the bill add or subtracts to the deficit. today the cbo says # the bill you would repeal reduces the deficit by $230 billion, so i think that you should make in order the amendment for mr. van holland that says the repeal should not take affect if it increases the deficit. now, you may disagree with the merits of the proposals. many of you actually said you agree with the merits of a lot of these proposa

larson is recognized. >> thank you. i want to thank the chairman and thank him for this opportunity. i have three quick questions for the panelists. one for mrs. olson. if you would expound upon -- in your testimony you said if tax compliance were an industry it would be one of the largest in the united states, consume 6.0 billion hours and requires the equivalent of more than three million full-time workers. that's pretty amazing statistic. i'd like you to expand upon that, noting that it seems to me that our current tax system is broken. it was antiquated in the last century, we're already a decade into this century and still haven't made much gain in terms of straightening it out. second question to any of the panelists, with regard to transaction taxes, noted on "60 minutes" more than $60 million takes place in transactions over the counter that are unregulated. in terms of looking at revenue that takes place in the atmosphere or done mathematically, it seems to me like this is an opportunity that's worth looking at
