                    ENDING UNFAIR TAXES ON AMERICANS

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, I bring this House and the American people 
good news this morning, because I have just come from a hearing 
conducted by our Committee on Ways and Means, on which I am honored to 
serve.
  The good news, Mr. Speaker, for all Americans, but especially for 
senior Americans, is that this House is preparing to get rid of the 
unfair penalty on earnings for senior citizens. It is unfair; it is 
work that is long overdue, and by listening not only to the people of 
Arizona, but to the people of America, this House stands ready to end 
the unfair earnings limit on seniors who are Social Security 
recipients.
  We are also pleased, Mr. Speaker, that the President yesterday in an 
interview joins with us on this. I only hope that the President will 
also join and work, as this House has done, to sign legislation that 
ends the unfair marriage penalty on so many Americans.
  So, Mr. Speaker, the record is clear: this Congress is working to end 
tax unfairness and restore tax fairness and equity for the American 
people.
