NAN A. S. HAYWORTH: “Quite to the contrary of what my friends assert, it is the opinion of this majority that the money we are talking about…”

“Quite to the contrary of what my friends assert, it is the opinion of this majority that the money we are talking about belongs to the American people, wherever they line up on the socio-economic scale. If you pay income taxes, you will receive an income tax reduction, and, if you are eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit, as I have pointed out time and again tonight, the check has been in the mail for years. That is something my friends have not dealt with tonight, and it is something that, in the spirit of candor and complete discussion, we should not so readily dismiss. Indeed, I would ask my friends to embrace H.R. 1308 as they embraced the initial tax bill. I thank my friend from Utah for his support of both, and I appreciate the spirit in which the debate has been conducted. I know my friend from Arkansas has the right to close. I will simply close for the majority side by saying that we need to reject this motion to instruct. We offer a bill that is far more complete for a far greater portion of the American people.”
