                  AMERICANS DESERVE A TAX BREAK TODAY

  (Mr. TIAHRT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  MR. TIAHRT. Mr. Speaker, we are all familiar with the advertising 
phrase ``You deserve a break today.'' Americans deserve a tax break 
today. It has been 16 years since Americans have had any tax relief. In 
fact, we have suffered through the two largest tax increases in history 
in just the last half decade. Working families deserve a tax break, 
$500 per child tax relief, reduction in capital gains, reduction in 
death taxes, credits for investing in college. It all boils down to 
more freedom. It includes more control of your money, and it means 
stoking our economy, making more money available for investments. That 
means more jobs.
  Yes, Mr. Speaker, America does deserve a tax break today.
