On the recordJuly 31, 1997
the tax bill before the House, the first in 16 years to cut taxes, is one small step for America's families, one historic leap for freedom. It reverses the Nation's direction and points us down a path toward restoring individual responsibility and accountability. Can there remain any doubt that individual citizens and their families are far more capable of making effective decisions for themselves than can a distant bureaucracy? Freedom begins with us, with each individual citizen, each family. On behalf of the people who have sent us here, we today reclaim their right to decide, to control more of their lives, to direct more of their children's development and their own futures. Today we celebrate another step on what remains a long, historic journey for mankind.
