IRS gets taste of own auditing medicin
The Bii
WASHINGTON (AP) — It
sounds like a taxpayer’s dream:
The IRS was audited and struggled
to explain its own financial records.
“The IRS cannot do some of the
basic accounting and record-keep
ing tasks that it expects American
taxpayers to do,” said Gregory
Kutz, who oversaw the audit re
leased Monday by the congres
sional General Accounting Office.
GAO said chronic Internal Rev
enue Service problems resulted last
year in millions of dollars in fraud
ulent refunds, failure to keep track
of such basic assets as cars and
computers and substandard com
puter security controls.
“Think of this as not balancing
your checkbook with the monthly
bank statement, and at the same
time having a system prone to er
ror,” Kutz told the House Govern
ment Reform Committee’s panel on
government management at a
Monday hearing.
GAO said IRS is unable to keep
track of unpaid taxes properly,
which means it cannot concentrate
collection efforts on the taxpayers
most likely to pay. The upshot is
that only about $26 billion of the
$222 billion in unpaid taxes as of
October 1998 are likely to be col
lected, with $119 billion — a whop
ping 54 percent — to be written off.
“It’s a national scandal,” said
Rep. Steve Horn, R-<3alif., chairman
of the government management
subcommittee. “It seems to me you
shouldn’t let people off the hook
like that.”
IRS officials were quick to take
responsibility for the problems.
which they said were largely root
ed in the agency’s antiquated com
puter systems that date as far back
as the Kennedy administration.

First Lady’s electoral considerations

WASHINGTON (AP) —
Run, Florence, run. And
what about Edith, Eleanor
or Jackie?
Hillary Rodham Clin
ton is not the only presi
dential wife ever urged to
run for political office.
In the 1920s there were
calls to draft President
Warren Harding’s widow.
President Bush’s son, Jeb, currently is gov
ernor of Florida. Another son, George W.
Bush Jr., is governor of Texas and is con
sidering a bid for the GOP presidential
nomination in 2000.

Florence, for governor of Ohio and Presi
dent Woodrow Wilson’s widow, Edith, for
vice president. Some Democrats wanted
Eleanor Roosevelt to be the party’s vice
presidential nominee in 1948. In 1976,
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, then a book
editor in New York, briefly flirted with run
ning for a Senate seat.
These four first ladies declined the over
tures. If Clinton actually seeks the Senate
seat being vacated by Democrat Daniel
Patrick Moynihan of New York, she would
be the only first lady to ever run for elec
tive office. She is spending two days in
New York City on Wednesday and Thurs
day, perhaps to test the senatorial waters.
“The difference with Hillary is that she
is recognized and respected as a political
figure in her own right,” says Carl Sferraz-
za Anthony, a historian of first ladies.
“Even though the other four were politi
cally minded, I think they were being draft
ed as a bridge to their husbands’ memory,
a symbol of their husbands’ legacy.”
The political lineage of presidents runs
deeper with sons.

Myra Gutin, a historian of first ladies at
Rider University in New Jersey. “Both are
politically minded. Both are widely re
spected, but also greatly criticized,” Gutin
said.
Clinton, the only first lady to chair a
presidential commission, was criticized for
the secrecy in which her Task Force on
Health Reform operated. Roosevelt was the
only first lady to hold a government posi
tion in her husband’s administration. She
resigned as assistant director of civilian de
