              WE MUST PASS THE REPUBLICAN TAX RELIEF BILL

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, in 1993, President Clinton and 
the liberal Democrats passed the largest tax increase in history, 
claiming it was for deficit reduction. But, the forecast is $200 
billion in deficits as far as the eye can see.
  The problem is not that the Government does not have enough money; it 
just spends too much. We have the proof: For every dollar they have 
raised in taxes, they have spent a dollar fifty-nine.
  We must pass the Republican tax relief bill. It reduces the Clinton 
Tax on workers, helps businesses expand, creates jobs, and gives money 
back to the people who earned it.
  This tax cut is vital. We must eliminate the deficit. These cuts take 
money away from the beast, big government, and put dollars back in the 
hands of the creators of economic growth, the American people.
