BODY:
Congress will
vote this year on repealing the 102-year-old telephone tax,
extending a moratorium on new Internet taxes beyond 2001 and permanently banning
taxes on charges for Internet access, House Speaker Dennis Hastert says. In a
draft speech to be delivered Monday in Chicago, the Illinois Republican said the
votes will underscore the GOP as prime supporters of tax relief and electronic
commerce. House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt (D-Mo.) recently spoke in favor of
a similar approach as both parties jockey for support in the high-tech industry.
