              TAX REDUCTIONS SOON A REALITY FOR AMERICANS

  (Mr. NEUMANN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. NEUMANN. Mr. Speaker, in the great State of Wisconsin, Governor 
Tommy Thompson has provided the people of Wisconsin with tax reductions 
and maintained a balanced budget, and that is what we are about to do 
out here in Washington, DC.

[[Page H3868]]

  We are on the verge of finishing our commitment to the American 
people. We are already in the third year of our plan to balance the 
budget, the third year of a 7-year plan to balance the budget; we are 
way ahead of schedule, and we are now about to provide the American 
people with tax reductions.
  What does that mean to a family in Janesville, WI? They have three 
kids, one headed off to college, and they are going to get help paying 
the college tuition to the tune of $1,500. For the other kids that are 
still home in that family, they are going to get another $1,000 on top 
of that.
  The tax cuts are being provided at the same time we fulfill our 
commitment to the American people to balance the Federal budget so that 
our children in this great country can look forward to a sound 
financial future and opportunities to live the American dream that we 
have had.
