2004 Annual Dinner Awards
November 18, 2004
Washington, D.C.
Scott Hodge: I think it's only fitting that the presenter
of this year's private sector distinguished service award to
Lee Raymond is a man himself who has won the public sector
award twice in 1988 and again in 1998. Bill Archer is Senior
Policy Analyst at Price Waterhouse Coopers where he works on
federal policy matters, trade and international tax issues. He
joined PWC after a 30-year career in the House of
Representatives, representing, of course, the Seventh District
of Texas.
Mr. Archer became Ranking Republican on the Ways and Means
Committee in 1988 and Chairman in 1995. He was the architect
of the 1997 Tax Bill, which benefited millions of American
families. Mr. Archer was well known as the only member of the
Ways and Means Committee who did his own taxes, which I think
has made him quite a staunch advocate of fundamental tax
reform. Do you still do your own taxes? He still does - my
goodness. But it's a little more complicated now than it was
then. [laughter]
