COMMITTEE ON WAYS AND MEANS BILL ARCHER, Texas, Chairman PHILIP M. CRANE, Illinois SAM JOHNSON, Texas PHILIP S. ENGLISH, Pennsylvania CHARLES B. RANGEL, New York RICHARD E. NEAL, Massachusetts A.L. SINGLETON, Chief of Staff Pursuant to clause 2(e)(4) of Rule XI of the Rules of the House, public hearing records of the Committee on Ways and Means are also published in electronic form. The printed hearing record remains the official version. Because electronic submissions are used to prepare both printed and electronic versions of the hearing record, the process of converting between various electronic formats may introduce unintentional errors or omissions. Such occurrences are inherent in the current publication process and should diminish as the process is further refined. ii CONTENTS U.S. Department of the Treasury, Hon. Lawrence H.
