                   EQUITABLE TAX RELIEF FOR AMERICANS

  (Ms. KILPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. KILPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I first want to offer and ask the Nation 
to pray for Dr. Betty Shabazz who continues to be blessed and sick in a 
New York hospital.
  I also want to talk about the tax cuts that are before this House of 
Representatives and this Congress. We all want a tax cut. Democrats 
want a tax cut. We want the tax cuts to go to the people who most need 
it, those middle income people who work every day, who take care of 
their families, who want to send their children to school, and who make 
under $40,000 a year.
  We want a tax cut. We want it equitable. We want our children to be 
able to grow and to learn.
  So as this House addresses the tax situation and the cut that will be 
had by Americans around this country, let us not forget the families, 
the children, the people who work every day to take care of their 
children. Let them have the tax cut, those that make $40,000 and less.
