On the recordMay 8, 2003
I am so pleased that we have an opportunity to discuss it tonight, and then tomorrow to vote on it. The first point about the acceleration of the 2001 tax relief for individuals, the President achieved an historic cut in taxes, and this is being accelerated. The first point about the child credit, this will increase the child credit to $1,000 for 2003, 2004, and 2005. I am so aware of the costs, having raised 4 children myself, along with my wife Roxanne, and I know how helpful this is going to be to young families as they are able to care for their children and give them the opportunities they want.
