December 15, 1992 MEMORANDUM TO This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu December 15, 1992 MEMORANDUM TO: SENATOR DOLE FROM: NINA OVIEDO#' SUBJECT: MISCELLANEOUS TAX COMMENTS AND TALKING POINTS The following are some miscellaneous tax comments and talking points for your business meetings. CLINTON ECONOMIC CONFERENCE • Clinton's first major public event of the transition, the "Economic Conference," began Monday, December 14 and will continue through Tuesday, in Little Rock. • Inevitably it's being billed as an economic summit but the fear of raising expectations has Governor Clinton calling the meeting a "retreat •.. a lot of work." • Originally, only one hundred business and labor leaders, and economists were expected to attend. In the end Clinton opened the doors and over 300 attended the forum. • It is reported that the basic Clinton economic program will include a top-bracket tax increase, tax breaks for the middle class, investment incentives, job training and short term public works spending and other steps to spur the economy and cut unemployment. • However, with signs of a recovering economy, it appears that Clinton may be reserving his flexibility on an immediate short term stimulus package. This became more obvious during yesterday's Conference meeting when Clinton seemed to emphasize that long term economic restructuring would be more important than short term fixes. ANTICIPATED ITC LEGISLATION • Fears that businesses may be def erring discretionary investments in capital goods until '93, prompted Chairmen Bentsen and Rostenkowski to issue a joint statement on the effective date of possible investment incentive legislation. • Consequently, they will recommend and support an effective date of December 4, 1992. It is reported that transition advisor, Robert Reich, indicated that the president-elect agrees with the proposed enactment date. 1 of 2 Page 1 of 82 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu EXTENDERS • There has no word from either Chairmen on extenders. No doubt that some extenders will be included in a stimulus package -- for example, Clinton backs a permanent R&D. • The effective date on extenders -- whether retroactive or not -- will depend on revenue and administrative difficulties. With a retroactive date, some taxpayers may be faced with filing amended returns unless legislation can be enacted prior to March 15 -- the corporate filing date, or April 15 -- individual filing date. SMALL BUSINESS PROPOSAL • Secretary Brady recently released a small business tax reform initiative. It is aimed at reducing capital costs and administrative complexity for small businesses. • The initiative includes: (also, attached is the NFIB's response): • Increasing section 179 to $25,000 from $10,000. The NFIB supports this proposal because it allows small businesses to avoid complicated depreciation rules. • Permits the expensing of $2,500 of start-up expenditures. The NFIB supports this proposal because the section 179 expensing (above) only covers certain assets. This "start-up" provision will help with other expenses. • Provides relief from AMT. NFIB supports. • Simplifies inventory tax accounting rules. The NFIB would go further and instead of simplifying the rules would instead exempt small business from the accounting rules. (NFIB's suggestion may be going a bit too far; it would also be a matter of revenue loss.) • The NFIB also suggests: • a capital gains cut -- similar to the Bumpers' proposal we used in the last tax bill for enterprise zones. • a zero tax rate for the first $25,000 in small business earnings. • a simplified tax form. 2 of 2 Page 2 of 82 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu NFIB National Federation of Independent Business MEMORANDUM TO: SHEILA BURKE FR: JOHN MOTLEY DT: DECEMBER 13, 1992 RE: NFIB 'S COMMENTS ON TREASURY'S SMALL BUSINESS TAX REFORM INITIATIVES Enclosed is a copy of NFIB 's plan for improving the lot of small business owners. You will see that it is very similar to Treasury's proposal. Expensing Section 179 expensing is very helpful to small business owners because it allows them to avoid complicated depreciation rules and just write off the cost of business expenses in the year incurred. One of the problems with expensing, however, is that it only applies to certain assets. The Treasury proposal recognizes this fact by allowing start-up businesses to write off an additional category of business expenses. This change would be extremely beneficial to small business owners. Alternative Minimum Tax NFIB agrees that small business owners should not be subject to the AMT. Suite 700 For the small business community, the cost of complying with the AMT almost 600 Maryland Ave. S.W. certainly Washington, DC 20024 outweighs the amount of revenue collected. (202) 554-9000 Direct Line (202) 554-0822 Accounting Changes Fax (202) 554-0496 Although NFIB supports the accounting changes in the Treasury proposal, we encourage you to take a slightly different approach. Accrual accounting, LIFO, FIFO, the completed contract method of accounting, and the uniform capitalization rules should not apply to small business owners. NFIB supports allowing all small business owners to use cash accounting. The Guardian of Small Business Page 3 of 82 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu Suggested Additions to the Treasury Proposal Small businesses would also greatly benefit from-- * a capital gains cut similar to Senator Bumpers' seed capital proposal; * a zero rate for the first $25,000 in corporate earnings; * simple S corporation rules; and * a simplified tax form.

Hank Greenberg, Chairman, American International Group (AIG) will be attending. Bob Lighthizer represents AIG. You along with Senator Mitchell recently wrote Secretary Brady and Ambassador Hills regarding a proposed change in the Japanese tax law that could drive U.S. insurance companies out of the Japanese market. That letter prompted discussions by the Administration with the Japanese Ministry of Finance ("MOF"). According to Bob, the letter was instrumental in halting the proposed changes by the Japanese. No doubt that Hank will want to thank you for your efforts. Attached is a copy of the letter you wrote to the Secretary.

Letter from the Architect The Architect of the Capitol can trace its beginnings to 1791 when President George Washington selected three commissioners to provide proper accommodations for Congress to conduct its business in Washington, D.C. As we carry that mission forward in the work we do today, preservation is key to our success. Over the next few years, stone preservation will be a top priority for the AOC, as nearly every building is encased in stone and almost all are in need of repair (page 22). Soon scaffolding will be visible on buildings around campus including the Capitol Building, Russell Senate Office Building and the Cannon House Office Building to name a few. These critical stone renovation efforts will ensure that the work of Congress can continue for decades to come.

  • “A Clock for the Rooms”: the Library Company's Horological Legacy
    “A Clock for the rooms”: the Library Company’s Horological Legacy ©Jay Robert Stiefel 2006 The scientific and horological holdings of the Library Company of Philadelphia would have been put to practical use by two of its prominent early shareholders, clockmakers David Rittenhouse (1732-1796) and Edward Duffield (1720-1801), each of whom was to have his work in the library. To their particular interest would have been any book by Dutch mathematician Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695) who, in 1656, laid claim to developing the first practical pendulum-regulated clock. The library owns several of Huygens’s treatises in various editions. The first to be acquired, a duodecimo entitled The Celestial Worlds Discovered,1 was listed by Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) as being in the collection by 1741.2 Plate I is an illustration from the library’s copy of the 1673 edition of Huygens’s Horologium Oscillatorium, which describes his invention and offers a mathematical analysis of pendular motion.3 In 1792, the number of scientific titles in the library substantially increased with the receipt of the nearly 4,000-volume Loganian Library, which included the private library of the polymath and book collector James Logan (1674-1751).4 Among its rarities is a first edition of Isaac Newton (1642-1727), Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (London, 1687), essential reading for Rittenhouse who also distinguished himself as a mathematician and astronomer. “A Clock for the rooms”: the Library Company’s Horological Legacy © Jay Robert Stiefel 2006 1 Another shareholder involved with clocks was cabinetmaker Benjamin Randolph (1721-1791), whose trade card (Pl.

    William F. Hildenbrand Secretary of the Senate, 1981-1985 Secretary to the Minority, 1974-1981 Administrative Assistant to Senator Hugh Scott, 1969-1974 Assistant to Senator J. Caleb Boggs, 1961-1969 Preface by Donald A. Ritchie On March 7, 1984, when William F. Hildenbrand gave his last testimony as Secretary of the Senate to the Legislative Appropriations Subcommittee, subcommittee chairman Alfonse D'Amato and Appropriations Committee chairman Mark Hatfield engaged in the following dialogue with Secretary Hildenbrand: Chairman Hatfield. I came this morning to participate out of my deep respect and appreciation for the leadership that Bill Hildenbrand has given to the Senate. He speaks of his last appearance before this committee, and plans to leave the Senate. I have been saying extra prayers for the survival of the Republic when he does leave. He is an example of a man who had a vision of wanting to be identified with a part of his government and that vision was realized. He has expressed his love for people, and the tenure he speaks of is only a very small fraction of his service to the Senate. I have always felt that Bill Hildenbrand is a person who had the information, who had the knowledge, who had the background, but also who had the good judgment in human relations to give political advice so often times lacking in people of intellect. So with this rare combination, he really has made a contribution. I have only one question, and that is, I am very much involved in the preservation of history, and I note by your report that we have completed two oral histories.
