                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the House that Congress should complete action 
             on the Permanent Death Tax Repeal Act of 2002.

Whereas the death tax has been a leading cause of the dissolution of family-run 
        businesses and a burden on families which save and invest;
Whereas a bipartisan majority of the House of Representatives passed the 
        Permanent Death Tax Repeal Act of 2002 on June 6, 2002, by a vote of 256 
        to 171;
Whereas failure to enact that Act will reimpose the death tax after 2010 on 
        families, farms and small businesses throughout the Nation;
Whereas the death tax will continue to prevent families from creating, 
        expanding, and retaining farms and businesses if the death tax is 
        resurrected;
Whereas the threat of a resurrected death tax will cause American families, 
        including farmers and small business owners, to waste vast amounts of 
        their time and other resources on efforts to plan to comply with the 
        tax;-
Whereas permanent repeal of the death tax will promote job creation and economic 
        growth by allowing farm and small business families to invest in 
        productive, job-creating assets those resources they will otherwise 
        spend on planning for and paying death taxes; and
Whereas the Senate has not passed that Act or equivalent legislation: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the Congress should complete action on the Permanent Death Tax Repeal 
Act of 2002, and the Congress should present to the President prior to 
adjournment the Permanent Death Tax Repeal Act of 2002.
