“I want to respond to something my colleague from Idaho indicated during his remarks when he stated that marriage penalty relief has been attacked as a tax cut for the wealthy.

I would be happy to have that vote printed in the Record at this time, so people can check the record and determine whether or not that allegation has merit or not.”
