On the recordMarch 23, 2000
I am proud to support this budget which strengthens Medicare. I am proud to be part of this process that pays down the national debt. I am proud to support this budget that provides tax relief in the areas of marriage penalty tax, death tax, education, health care, and repeal of seniors' earning limitations. I am proud to support this budget which strengthens national defense, strengthens education funding, aggressively attacks waste and fraud. Lastly, I am proud to support this Republican budget which strengthens and protects Social Security and permanently ends the raid on that. I am proud to do that, Mr. Chairman, as the father of three children, because I am proud to give them the future and America's children the future they deserve.
