Mr. Speaker, only a week ago I do not think the gentleman was advocating any tax cuts. But I just want to remind our colleagues that are both here and throughout the offices that in fiscal year 2004, in the adopted budget resolution…

Mr. Speaker, when I return to my district each week, my constituents tell me they want me to do two things: create jobs and cut taxes. Thanks to the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Act and the Jobs Growth Tax Relief Act, Congress is doing…

I reminded my colleagues that I come from kind of a small town in upstate New York... I think that is real tax relief. I do not think $40,000 is rich.

I want at least the voters of my district and the people of New York to know that while we have listened to class warfare and tax cuts, I know those New Yorkers that make $100,000 in their income, or even as much as $150,000, if you are a…

Sometimes we get lost here a little bit about the result of the 2003 tax cuts. In 2003, 91 million taxpayers will receive on average a tax cut of $1,126 under the Jobs and Growth Act of 2003. Sixty-eight million women will see their taxes…

I believed when I voted for a $726 billion tax decrease, for tax cuts, that we would have moved our economy even faster. I believed it when I did $550 billion. I am supporting $350 billion with the other things we are doing today for an…

we are going to pay for it by giving it back to the American people. Will there be deficits? There are deficits.

I also saw a poll that says that the American people want a tax cut. And, quite frankly, as the President traveled the country in the week that we were on recess, he raised the polling numbers for that tax cut by 10 percent.

Mr. Speaker, taxes now claim a greater share of the median two-income family's budget than food, clothing, housing, and transportation combined. That just is not right. Families need the flexibility to dedicate their hard-earned resources…

Mr. Speaker, my two posters are really simple, as I said before: Create and Keep Jobs and Tax Cuts Now. I want to say that this is not a partisan thing. It is either you believe that bigger government and more government spending is how we…

Mr. Speaker, we are getting to the heart of it. The heart of it is that the left is filing in here to talk about we need bigger government and more spending. We need more of that central Federal Government. And the debate will happen after…

I stated a number of facts of how many millions of Americans benefit from this plan. One is: Keep and create jobs. That is what this bill does. The other is: Tax cut now. That is what we are going to have the opportunity to vote on. There…

Half of the tax relief package in 2003 is directed to the child tax credit, expanding the 10 percent bracket, eliminating the marriage penalty, accelerating the marginal rate cuts, and ensuring that middle-class families do not face the…

I have been reading the minority's press clips since I have been here, and to them it seems to be the biggest deal for mankind what the recommit motion is and how that vote occurred here. So I am confused the gentleman's suggestion today…

It is a tough day when I watch some of my colleagues use kind of a class warfare tactic. I would think I was in a political 101 class when I listened to "pioneers," except I know that the President, when he ran as a candidate from being…

Amendment No. 22 offered by Mr. Reynolds: At the end of the bill add the following: DIVISION--MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS SEC. 01. ENCOURAGING PROHIBITION OF OFF-SHORE DRILLING IN THE GREAT LAKES. (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that-- (1)…

along with the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Rogers), I am offering an amendment that was passed overwhelmingly by this body 2 years ago. The 94,000 square miles of the Great Lakes system constitutes some of this Nation's most precious…

Mr. Speaker, my home State of New York has been designated by the American Medical Association as one of the 18 crisis States because of the staggering number of physicians that are unable to obtain or afford liability insurance. It is not…

I hope my colleagues have had the opportunity to read the heart-wrenching testimony presented by Leanne Dyess earlier this month before the Committee on the Judiciary. I hope their compassion will allow them to consider how it would feel…

Mr. Speaker, we are going to continue on the debate of the issue of the day, which is medical liability. I must tell you, while I guess it is important to listen to some of the process, and half of this debate by the leadership of our…

I applaud our President and this Congress for ensuring that we begin this debate well-informed and well-prepared. As the President has said in his radio address to the Nation on Saturday, "The United States does not desire military…

Mr. Speaker, ever since a young Staff Sergeant first climbed into an Army Air Force bomber for the first of 35 missions that would win him the Distinguished Flying Cross during World War II, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Gilman) has…

Mr. Speaker, I had another appointment, and I was disappointed because I thought I would not have the chance to be here; but I did not want to let this opportunity go by without joining in at least for a few moments in adding my words of…

Two Stanford University economists have conducted two extensive studies using national data on Medicare populations and concluded that patients from States that adopted direct medical care litigation reforms, and I will say that again for…

Mr. Speaker, I just disagree with my friend, the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Stupak). One cannot argue with the facts that in California the premiums in the last 27 years have gone up 167 percent. The rest of the country is 500 percent…
