             TAX CUTS FOR MORE FREEDOM AND LESS GOVERNMENT

  (Mr. BARTLETT of Maryland asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BARTLETT of Maryland. Mr. Speaker, the sun is rising this morning 
in America and shining on many happy faces. Taxpayers are celebrating 
because conservatives in Congress and President Clinton have agreed on 
plans to simultaneously balance the budget for the first time in more 
than 30 years while providing tax cuts for the first time in 16 years.
  Liberals however have woken up and are crying boohoo. Liberals are 
aghast at the prospects of the Federal Government balancing its budget 
and reducing spending. Liberals are horrified by the Federal Government 
simultaneously letting taxpayers keep more of the money that they earn. 
Oh, the horror, the horror.
  Tax cuts equal more freedom for individual hard-working American 
taxpayers and less power for the Federal Government in Washington. No 
wonder liberals are crying boohoo.
