Reform
Continued from p. 1
something that had escaped Congress for years.
"We have struggled too long to waver now. We have accomplished too much to give up now. We have struggled too long to fail now." O'Neill said. "Let's say yes to a change. Let's say yes to a brighter new day for American taxpayers. Let's not wait another 50 years for reform."
O'Neill's remarks were greeted with a standing ovation, including Treasury Secretary James Baker, who watched the debate from the visitors' gallery.
But opponents contended the bill, drafted in hastie last month by House and Senate negotiators, was not fair, would do little to simplify the tax system and could harm the economy. While the measure would cut taxes for most people, rich and poor, it would boost levies for about 15 million lower and middle-income citizens, the fees argued.
Rep. Tommy Robinson, D-Ark., said the original tax reform bill was an eagle, but but turned first into a turkey and now into a buzzard.
"It is not pro-growth, not profamily." Robinson said. "This bill is going to wreck our economy."
Several opponents also complained that in an effort to win needed support, sponsors loaded the bill with about $11 billion in special tax breaks for lawmakers' favorite projects and companies.
But Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, D-III., a writer of the legislation, said it was a response to a moment in history when the nation demanded fairness and equity in the tax code.
"It is not the hope of more tax cuts that stirred a doubling nation," Rostenkowski said, saying people wanted to make sure others can't beat the system any longer.
Rostenkowski, chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, called the measure the great equalizer between income classes.
Rep. John Duncan, R-Tenn., the ranking Republican on the Ways and Means panel, said, "Today brings us close to the end of a 22-month struggle for a reform of the United States tax code."
Widowed
had offered him much support.

"It's just like a family," he said.
"That's the way it feels to me."
He said that he sometimes went to singles dances with other members of the group and that the male-female ratio was good.
"They outnumber us seven to one, that's not bad," Anderson said.
Ceferin Ranario, a Fulbright scholar at the University of Kansas who is from the Philippines, attended her first meeting last night.
She said that when she lived in the Philippines, she was president of a similar group called Solo Parents Group.
"I wanted to see how the two groups compared," she said "the social part is similar, but our group emphasizes Catholicism and this one is non-denominational."
one said her group was proud of Corazon Aquino. Philippines president who also is a widow. Her husband, Benigno, was assassinated in 1983.
The spread of AIDS, which has killed more than 13,000 people since 1982, has been the biggest obstacle to gaining acceptance for homosexuals in the United States, said John England, a spokesman for the Topeka AIDS Project.

England said the national Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta recorded 40 cases of AIDS in Kansas since 1982, 23 of them fatal.
Problems
The World Health Organization in Geneva, recently released data that proved AIDS was not a disease transmitted or shared only by homosexuals.
"It's very important for the public to understand that AIDS is not a homosexual disease," he said.
Courtney, a member of the Lawrence Gay and Lesbian Alcoholics Anonymous who requested that only his first name be used, said he had seen graffiti on a bathroom wall at Wesco Hall yesterday. The graffiti stated in a vulgar manner that the cure for AIDS was to have no homosexual encounters.
Hawaiian church to keep leper missionary's trunk
United Press International
VALLEJO, Calif. — A judge yesterday ordered that an unclaimed leather trunk containing refies of Father Damen de Veuster, "The leper priest of Molokai," be placed in trust with the Roman Catholic bishop of Hawaii.
The trunk, which has been stored at the Solano County coroner's office for 26 years, contains a guava wood walking stick, a hand-carved meerschaum pipe and a shiny black kukui nut watch fob, which had belonged to Father Damien.
It also holds a collection of glass-plate negatives taken of the priest while on his deathbed in April 1899.
Father Damien, a Belgian missionary, went to the Molokai lakcolony in 1873 and worked with the victims until his own death from the disfiguring disease. He is a candidate for sainthood.
The trunk ended up in Solano County as part of the estate of Godwin B. Swift, a San Francisco attorney who died in Vallejo in 1960 with no close heirs. He was the son of Dr. Sidney Swift, the resident physician at the Molokai leper colony in 1889.
James O'Brien, the county coroner and public administrator, brought the case into court because he said he had a strong feeling that the trunk and contents should be kept intact and turned over to the Catholic Church.
Superior Court Judge Ellis K Randall, ordered the trunk be placed in trust with the bishop of Hawaii. A court attachte said the trunk was not given outright to the church because there was always a possibility an heir might surface.
Lionel Rodgers, a Vallejo lawyer representing the Diocese of Hawaii, told reporters that he had asked Randall to turn the trunk over to the church.
