On the recordJuly 19, 2000
it has been said that the strength of our country can be measured by the strength of our families, and it is true that the family is our smallest unit of government. So when families are doing well, we all do well. It is in the family that we pass on the virtues and the knowledge to build a great Nation. We know that when Mom and Dad can care for their children, their kids do better in school. They are less likely to get into drugs and more likely to reach their goals. Mr. Speaker, the House and the Senate have passed legislation to make American families stronger. It is called marriage penalty tax relief. With this help, moms and dads can spend more time building strong families and a stronger Nation. Mr. Speaker, I would ask the President to sign the marriage penalty tax relief, and together we will build a better America.
