On the recordMarch 8, 2001
I thought that what we heard for the last hour was how quickly Republicans were moving, and that we just should not really move this quickly on a tax cut. I thought I just heard my friend and colleague from New York now indicate that we are not moving in this tax bill on the marriage penalty, on the death tax, on child credit, on alleviating the alternative minimum tax; and they just wonder if we are ever going to move. I would tell the gentleman that, just as the President in the joint session in the well said that he wanted immediate tax relief for all Americans, which we are providing today, he also mentioned that we should have a child credit increase; that we should fix the marriage penalty; that we should eliminate the death tax. And we are going to do all of those. I look forward to working with my colleague as we go forward in putting those tax packages together.
