                       A GLORIOUS DAY FOR AMERICA

  (Mr. SOUDER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. SOUDER. Mr. Speaker, today should be a glorious day for America. 
We hope to pass, in one day, a law that will cut taxes, releasing the 
engine of economic--dynamic economic growth and giving parents the 
freedom to make decisions for their own children. It will move Congress 
toward a balanced budget, and it will begin to transfer the power of 
the Federal Government back to the people.
  The defenders of the Washington welfare state charge we ``terrible'' 
Republicans favor the rich, we want to deprive our children of lunches, 
and other desperate charges. Whine, whine, whine; I fear they drank too 
much of their own wine.
  The truth is simple. America has spoken. Washington does not know 
best. Today can be the real beginning of the reversal of power where 
Americans can make their own decisions without consulting Congress. You 
might even say, ``A morning in America, part 2,'' only this time not 
only will the cuts again increase Government revenues but now we have a 
Republican Congress that is not going to spend it all. God has given us 
a second change. Today should be a glorious day.
