Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 9498, the Taxpayer Advocate Participation Act. Taxpayers deserve a government that respects their rights, treats them fairly, and listens when legitimate concerns arise. When dealing with the IRS, families and small businesses should have confidence that their interests are being heard. It is not uncommon, unfortunately, that when you are dealing with the IRS, Mr. Speaker, and you think you have a problem, if you go to a lawyer, that lawyer right off the top is going to maybe even charge you more money than the amount that is being disputed.

Mr. Speaker, that was a good speech by Mr. Suozzi. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 9500, the Tax Relief for Fraud Victims Act. For many Americans, financial security means decades of hard work, setting aside money paycheck after paycheck, saving for retirement and making sacrifices so their family will always have something to fall back on. A criminal can take away that security in a matter of days. Financial scammers can involve someone posing as a trusted adviser, a fraudulent investment, or online relationship built around deception.

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of Mr. Bilirakis' bill, the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act. It is the responsibility of Congress to make sure every vehicle purchased has the minimum amount of standard equipment expected. Can you imagine spending $60,000 on a new car and not getting AM radio? Why don't you just take the transmission too.
