On the recordApril 18, 2002
just so we stay on this planet in terms of our rhetoric, six times between March and May, this House passed tax reduction bills. Every one of them was permanent, including on April 4, H.R. 8, which repealed the death or estate tax. That was permanent. It was the United States Senate, and please stop me when I have violated any rule in talking about the other body, that produced this document which was the only time the House voted not to make the tax cuts permanent, and that was a bill generated through a conference. This House voted to make it permanent, and we are trying to do it again.

I think this is a very equitable and timely distribution of these funds. I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
