In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

Whereas the first anti-miscegenation law in the United States 
was enacted in Maryland in 1661; 
Whereas miscegenation was typically a felony under State 
laws prohibiting interracial marriage punishable by im-
prisonment or hard labor; 
Whereas in 1883, the Supreme Court held in Pace v. Ala-
bama that anti-miscegenation laws were consistent with 
the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment as 
long as the punishments given to both white and black 
violators are the same; 
Whereas in 1912, a constitutional amendment was proposed 
in the House of Representatives prohibiting interracial 
marriage ‘‘between negroes or persons of color and Cau-
casians’’; 
Whereas in 1923, the Supreme Court held in Meyer v. Ne-
braska that the due process clause of the 14th Amend-
ment guarantees the right of an individual ‘‘to marry, es-
tablish a home and bring up children’’; 
Whereas in 1924, Virginia enacted the Racial Integrity Act 
of 1924, which required that a racial description of every 
person be recorded at birth and prevented marriage be-
tween ‘‘white persons’’ and non-white persons;
able year, the taxpayer’s gross income for such taxable 
year shall be increased by the amount of such excess. 
(b) LAYER ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT.—For purposes of 
this section— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—The term ‘‘layer adjustment 
amount’’ means, with respect to any historic LIFO 
layer, the product of— 
(A) $18.75, and 
(B) the number of barrels of crude oil (or 
in the case of natural gas or other petroleum 
products, the number of barrel-of-oil equiva-
lents) represented by the layer. 
(2) BARREL-OF-OIL
EQUIVALENT.—The term 
‘‘barrel-of-oil equivalent’’ has the meaning given 
such term by section 29(d)(5) (as in effect before its 
redesignation by the Energy Tax Incentives Act of 
2005). 
(c) APPLICATION OF REQUIREMENT.— 
(1) NO CHANGE IN METHOD OF ACCOUNTING.— 
Any adjustment required by this section shall not be 
treated as a change in method of accounting.
