today my family celebrates the fifth birthday of my twin daughters, Dana and Claire. But long after the presents that they open today are put away and forgotten, this Congress will have given them, and given to the children of this country a much greater present. It is because today marks the end of a historic week in our Nation's economic history. For the first time in almost 30 years, Congress will pass a balanced budget and tax relief for working Americans, so that families who earn the money will be able to keep more of the money they earn. The day where Washington and the IRS have first claim on family income is over. This Republican Congress, working with our friends on the other side of the aisle, are giving my children and the children of every working parent in this country the greatest gift of all: the gift of economic security for their future, and for future generations of Americans.
