	NARA Records of Congress Guide to House Records: Chapter 21
		Early in the first Congress a select committee on ways and means was formed, but subsequently was disbanded when Alexander Hamilton was appointed Secretary of the Treasury and the House chose to let him handle a large part of the financial matters of the new nation.
		The idea of a "committee on ways and means" to handle the financial matters of a legislature is older than the Federal Congress, having been used in the English Parliament and the colonial and State legislatures in America.
		The Ways and Means are still preserved, and their future duty is to provide "ways and means," that is, raise revenue for carrying on the Government.

	House Ways and Means Committee Testimony: Corporate Tax Shelters
		When the Ways and Means Committee held its first hearing on the Administration's tax shelter proposals last spring, several witnesses testified that while the Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service had several tools at their disposal to combat "abusive" corporate transactions, the agencies had failed to make appropriate use of those tools.
		Before enacting new legislation, the Ways and Means Committee is right to ask whether there are additional steps that can be taken under current law.

	STATEMENT OF LINDA A. RUIZ DIRECTOR OF PROGRAM INTEGRITY HEALTH CARE FINANCING ADMINISTRATION ON "HEALTH CARE WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE" BEFORE THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON WAYS AND MEANS SUBCOMMITTEE ON HEALTH
		Because prior law limited the pool of contractors that could compete for contracts, we were not always able to negotiate the best deal for the taxpayers or take advantage of new ways to deter fraud and abuse.
		This project is unique in HCFA and I believe that it illustrates the flexibility of our new organization and a willingness to do business in a more efficient and responsive way.
		A lesson learned through Operation Restore Trust is the importance of working closely with the States, the Department of Justice, including the FBI, the Inspector General and the private sector to share information and tactics about fighting fraud and abuse.

	Robert Greenstein Testimony before House Committee on Ways and Means - 2/13/01
		This means the Bush plan would consume approximately $2.4 trillion in projected surpluses if none of the tax cuts are accelerated (the $2.1 trillion figure cited earlier plus the additional cost the tax plan has once the AMT is fixed) and more than that if the tax cuts are accelerated.
		This means that if CBO's projection for 2006 is off by the average amount that its forecasts for the fifth year have been off in the past, its projection of the surplus in 2006 will be off by $400 billion.
		Clearly, this should not occur, and virtually all observers are confident Congress will not let this happen.

	China's Accession to the WTO and Human Rights (Testimony before the House Committee on Ways and Means, February 2000)
		We hope the Committee will urge her to travel to China this spring in order to conduct a high-level dialogue on China's labor practices, including protection of key worker rights, the cases of detained workers and labor organizers, and the creation of social safety nets.
		We welcomed the release of the respected scholar, Song Yongyi, but his arbitrary arrest and detention are a clear reminder of the capriciousness of the "rule of law" in China and the dangers of conducting research into sensitive subjects.
		China is a long way from having a legal and court system that functions independently of the Party and the State.

		I would like to discuss a few of the provisions of H.R. which I believe should be modified and one new idea which has been raised recently which would require the government to bear the burden of proof in all tax situations.
		During the period 1952-1956, I served as a legislative draftsperson during the drafting of the 1954 Code and Regulations.

	STATEMENT OF BRUCE C. VLADECK ADMINISTRATOR HEALTH CARE FINANCING ADMINISTRATION ON "CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICERS AUDIT, FY 1996" BEFORE THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON WAYS & MEANS SUBCOMMITTEE ON HEALTH
		The work of this Committee and other Members of Congress has been vital to increasing our ability to protect the integrity of the Medicare program, and to safeguard the interests of our beneficiaries.
		Use Sampling to Project and Collect Overpayment: We are working on detailed methodology to develop and enhance cost-effective, yet fair, ways to estimate and collect overpayments to providers.
		It is important to note that the errors reported by the OIG were not evident on the face of the claims, meaning that the error determinations were only made through the "look-behind" review of medical documentation.

	Online NewsHour Forum: The House Ways and Means Committee -- October 16, 1996
		The First House of Representatives in 1789 formed the Ways and Means to fulfill Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution that reads, "All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives." Since 1789, the House Ways and Means Committee has served as the chief tax writing committee for all of Congress.
		The first bills the Ways and Means Committee passed in this Congress were a tax cut for the wealthy funded by a $270 billion cut in the Medicare program, a radical welfare bill that would have thrown millions of children into poverty, and provisions that allowed companies to raid their workers’ pension assets.
		When all the talk and promises are over, there is one committee in Congress that will debate what the tax policy of the U.S. will be: the Committee on Ways and Means.

	Testimony to The Ways and Means Committee
		Committee on Ways and Means of the U.S. House of Representatives
		That implies, for example, that the revenue loss in 2010 that the Joint Committee on Taxation estimated as $233 billion would actually be only about $150 billion.
		Because of the timing of the tax cut and the taxpayers' lags in responding to it, I think a safer estimate of the total 10-year revenue loss would be about $1.2 trillion, still less than half of the non-Social Security surplus.
