  BARROW COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY ENDORSES SUPER MAJORITY VOTE FOR TAX 
                               LIMITATION

                                 ______


                      HON. CHARLES W. NORWOOD, JR.

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 19, 1995

  Mr. NORWOOD. Mr. Speaker, it is imperative that this body's ability 
to tax and spend be limited. I have heard from my constituents back 
home and they heartily approve of the new rule of the House which 
requires a 60-percent super majority to enact any Federal tax increase 
on U.S. citizens.
  The Barrow County Republican Party has adopted a resolution which 
expresses support for this new rule in the House. It is stated below:

       Whereas on this date of January 16, 1995 the Barrow County 
     Republican Party at it's stated meeting on the above date, 
     and in full accord conclude that the United States Government 
     through taxation and regulations, has far exceeded any power 
     granted to it by the United States Constitution, and the 
     people of this great Nation.
       And, whereas it appears to these Members of this body, that 
     an amendment to regulate the tax and spend policies of the 
     United States Government in such a way as to restrict the 
     Government in the adoption of its policies of taxation on 
     income, the ownership of personal property such as real 
     estate, or any other personal possessions which may 
     rightfully owned by an American citizen.
       And, be it therefore resolved by the Barrow County 
     Republican Party at this meeting that tenth district 
     Congressman Charlie Norwood, and that United States Senator 
     Paul Coverdell and, United States Senator Sam Nunn of Georgia 
     be petitioned by this body to consider, and adopt the three 
     fifth's amendment, now being considered by the U.S. House of 
     Representatives, which would require a sixty percent super 
     majority vote to enact any Federal tax increase on the people 
     of the United States.
       This resolution being whole heartedly approved by this 
     body, be it further enacted that this entire document be 
     presented in support of this resolution, to be signed, and 
     presented as directed by the officers present at this 
     meeting.
           Signed,
     Mike Grace,
       Chairman.
     Edwin Gravitt,
       Vice Chairman.
     Randy DuBose,
       Secretary.
