of the funds made available by this Act for the Department of the
Treasury shall be available for any activity or for paying the salary

Service.--
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1) While the budget for the Internal Revenue Service
(hereafter referred to as the ``IRS'') has risen from $2.5 billion
in fiscal year 1979 to $7.3 billion in fiscal year 1996, tax
returns processing has not become significantly faster, tax
collection rates have not significantly increased, and the accuracy
and timeliness of taxpayer assistance has not significantly
improved.
(2) To date, the Tax Systems Modernization (TSM) program has
cost the taxpayers $2.5 billion, with an estimated cost of $8
billion. Despite this investment, modernization efforts were
recently described by the GAO as ``chaotic'' and ``ad hoc''.
(3) While the IRS maintains that TSM will increase efficiency
and thus revenues, Congress has had to appropriate additional funds
in recent years for compliance initiatives in order to increase tax
revenues.
(4) Because TSM has not been implemented, the IRS continues to
rely on paper returns, processing a total of 14 billion pieces of
paper every tax season. This results in an extremely inefficient
system.
(5) This lack of efficiency reduces the level of customer
service and impedes the ability of the IRS to collect revenue.
(6) The present status of the IRS shows the need for the
establishment of a Commission which will examine the organization
of IRS and recommend actions to expedite the implementation of TSM
and improve service to taxpayers.
(b) Composition of the Commission.--
(1) Establishment.--To carry out the purposes of this section,
there is established a National Commission on Restructuring the
Internal Revenue Service (in this section referred to as the
``Commission'').
(2) Composition.--The Commission shall be composed of thirteen
members, as follows:
(A) Five members appointed by the President, two from the
executive branch of the Government, two from private life, and
one from an organization that represents a substantial number
of Internal Revenue Service employees.
(B) Two members appointed by the Majority Leader of the
Senate, one from Members of the Senate and one from private
life.
(C) Two members appointed by the Minority Leader of the
Senate, one from Members of the Senate and one from private
life.
(D) Two members appointed by the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, one from Members of the House of
Representatives and one from private life.
(E) Two members appointed by the Minority Leader of the
House of Representatives, one from Members of the House of
Representatives and one from private life.
The Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service shall be an ex
officio member of the Commission.
(3) Chairman.--The Commission shall elect a Chairman from among
its members.
(4) Meeting; quorum; vacancies.--After its initial meeting, the
Commission shall meet upon the call of the Chairman or a majority
of its members. Seven members of the Commission shall constitute a
quorum. Any vacancy in the Commission shall not affect its powers,
but shall be filled in the same manner in which the original
appointment was made.
(5) Appointment; initial meeting.--
(A) Appointment.--It is the sense of the Congress that
members of the Committee should be appointed not more than 60
days after the date of the enactment of this section.

the enactment of this section, seven or more members of the

may meet and select a Chairman who thereafter shall have the

(v) improving the accuracy of information requested by

(vi) changing the culture of the IRS to make the

oriented;
(C) whether the IRS could be replaced with a quasi-
governmental agency with tangible incentives and internally

Government.
