              IN RECOGNITION OF NATIONAL PAYROLL WEEK 1998

 Mr. SANTORUM. Mr. President, I would like to take a few 
minutes of Senate business to recognize National Payroll Week 1998, 
which has been designated as September 14-18.
  National Payroll Week was founded by the American Payroll Association 
in 1996 to honor the men and women whose tax contributions support the 
American Dream and the payroll professionals who are dedicated to 
processing those contributions.
  In particular, the Susquehanna Valley Chapter of the American Payroll 
Association represents 186,000 residents in Pennsylvania who are 
employed by 21 businesses. These taxpayers and businesses contribute 
millions of dollars to the federal treasury through payroll taxes each 
year. These taxes go toward important civic projects including roads, 
schools and crime prevention. In addition, taxpayers and payroll 
professionals are partners in upholding the Social Security and 
Medicare systems.
  Mr. President, I ask my colleagues to join with me in commending the 
taxpayers and payroll professionals who, through the collection, 
reporting and payment of payroll taxes, have set a national precedent 
of what works in America.
