		Jim McCrery had many in the state on edge early in 2004 as he held out the possibility that he would not seek a 10th consecutive term.
		While McCrery was popular, his was not a solid Republican district and his leaving would make it more easy for a Democrat to take the seat.
		McCrery, a former Democrat, was first elected to the House in a special election in 1988 to fill the seat of his former employer, Buddy Roemer, who was elected governor that year.

	McCrery won't take sides on NRCC head (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Jim McCrery (R-La.), the leading candidate to chair the Ways and Means Committee next year, says he will not endorse any of the three lawmakers vying to become chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).
		By staying neutral, McCrery is passing up the chance for some old-fashioned political logrolling, but he also wants to avoid alienating potential supporters and has told Reps. Pete Sessions (Texas), Tom Cole (Okla.) and Phil English (Pa.), who are all running to become NRCC chairman in 2007, that he will help each of them.
		McCrery said his appearance with Sessions is not an endorsement of his candidacy.

	NAREIT - Window On Washington
		McCrery says, not surprisingly, the economy will be the biggest issue facing the House Ways and Means Committee over the next 12 months.
		McCrery and Ben Cardin (D-MD) were joined by more than three-quarters of the House Ways and Means Committee in introducing the REIT Improvement Act (RIA) in the House, and similar legislation is also pending in the Senate.
		As McCrery says, there are issues in the tax code impacting REITs that have been left unaddressed for too long, even though they are counterproductive and need to be changed.

	The DeMint and McCrery Social Security Plans, rev 7/20/05
		Analyses of the DeMint and McCrery plans issued by the Social Security actuaries show that the plans would make Social Security’s financing problems worse were it not for the inclusion in the plans of an assumption that large general revenue transfers would be made from the rest of the budget to Social Security.
		Supporters of the DeMint and McCrery proposals argue that the Social Security surplus is currently being “raided” by the rest of the budget because the surplus is being used to help cover the deficit.
		Indeed, the DeMint and McCrery plans are much more likely to weaken fiscal discipline than to strengthen it, especially since they would open the door to a “free lunch” approach to Social Security, under which solvency would be restored on paper through large-scale borrowing and general-revenue transfers without hard choices being made.

	TomPaine.com - Calling Congress To Account
		The business of Capitol Hill has become a feeding frenzy for corporate campaign contributors, to the tune of $600 million in the last election cycle. Case in point: Rep. Jim McCrery, Bush's right-hand man for Social Security, who has accepted hundreds of thousands from Wall Street securities firms.
		McCrery has pocketed more than $200,000 since 2000 from the banking and securities companies that will benefit from privatization of the Social Security system.
		These companies have reason to give McCrery big bucks. Dr. Austan Goolsbee, a University of Chicago economist, has estimated that the president’s Social Security privatization plan could result in nearly $1 trillion for financial services firms.
