On the recordJune 26, 1997
I rise to point out to my colleagues that yesterday the House cast a vote for the future by passing the first balanced budget in 29 years. This will give our children and grandchildren lower taxes, lower interest rates, more economic opportunity. Today we cast a historic vote for America's families by passing the first tax cut in 16 years. Think of it. Tiger Woods was 5 years old the last time we had a tax cut. That is how long it has been. And while he was growing up, we had tax increase after tax increase. Now, finally, he wins the Masters and we win taxes, as time goes on. So I think that the people have a good reason to be interested and excited. Those of our Members and those of the public who are interested, we have a new website, Speakernews.house.gov, which I recommend because one of the goals of this Congress is not only to return your money to you, but to return your Government to you by giving you the information that you can gain access to, so you do not need a lobbyist, you do not need a trade association, you do not need anyone between you and information about the U.S. Congress. If you would like more information on the first tax cut in 16 years and first balanced budget agreement in 29 years, all you have to do is enter Speakernews.house.gov and you can get all the information at no cost, without paying anybody. Because you, as a citizen, deserve to know what your Congress is doing.
