              IN RECOGNITION OF NATIONAL PAYROLL WEEK 1999

 Mr. SANTORUM. Mr. President, I rise today in recognition of 
National Payroll Week 1999, which has been designated as September 13-
17.
  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 200,000 residents and 25 businesses in 
Pennsylvania. These taxpayers contribute millions of dollars to the 
federal and state treasuries through payroll taxes each year. These 
taxes help pay for important civic projects including roads, schools, 
crime prevention, and national defense. In addition, taxpayers and 
payroll professionals are partners in maintaining the Social Security 
and Medicare systems.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in commending the taxpayers and 
payroll professionals who, through the payment, collection, and 
reporting of payroll taxes, have helped make our nation great.
