    REPORT ON THE TAX RELIEF PLAN--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT--PM 5

  The PRESIDING OFFICER laid before the Senate the following message 
from the President of the United States, together with an accompanying 
report; which was referred to the Committee on Finance.

To the Congress of the United States:
  Enclosed please find my plan to provide needed tax relief to the 
American people. Over the last several months, the economy has slowed 
dramatically. I believe that the best way to ensure that our prosperity 
continues is to put more money in the hands of consumers and 
entrepreneurs as soon as possible. I look forward to working with the 
Congress to enact meaningful tax cuts into law.
                                                      George W. Bush.  
The White House, February 8, 2001.
