THANK YOU FOR CONTACTING ME TO VOICE YOUR OPPOSITION TO PRESIDENT CLINTON'S PROPOSAL TO PARTIALLY FINANCE HIS HEALTH REFORM PLANT (H.R. 3600, THE HEALTH SECURITY ACT) BY INCREASING THE EXCISE TAX ON TOBACCO PRODUCTS.
Letter from Congressman Hamilton Fish Jr. to Thomas F. Byrne thanking him for voicing his opposition to the proposed 312% increase in the federal cigarette tax in order to pay for a new health care initiative. Mentions actions being taken in order to prevent the bill from being passed and promises to keep in mind Mr. Byrne's objections.
