 PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 3, ECONOMIC GROWTH AND TAX RELIEF 
                              ACT OF 2001

  Mr. REYNOLDS. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New 
York (Mr. Fossella).
  Mr. FOSSELLA. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from New York (Mr. 
Reynolds) for yielding me the time, and evidently what I was about to 
say was so profound that the other side of the aisle wanted to adjourn 
and go home, and I can understand that, not that they wanted me to 
embarrass myself.
  Today, Mr. Speaker, we ask ourselves a very fundamental question, do 
we believe in the power and the spirit of the American people? Do we 
believe in their ability to create new jobs? Do we believe that they 
should have the freedom to spend as much money as they see fit on their 
lives, on their families, on their small businesses or do we maintain 
and continue the position that whatever money comes to Washington, 
regardless of how much it is, should be spent by folks here in 
Washington?
  The proposition is clear, the issue is clear. Now is the time, and it 
is long overdue, to send that money back to the American people for the 
refund they deserve so they can spend it on their kids' education, 
putting more people to work, on a vacation, a new car, whatever it is.

[[Page H756]]

  Mr. Speaker, if we stand for freedom, if we stand for empowering 
people, this is the way to do it.
  Mr. MOAKLEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from 
California (Ms. Harman).
  Ms. HARMAN. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Massachusetts 
(Mr. Moakley) for yielding me the time.
  Mr. Speaker, here are some unemployment statistics from cities in my 
district: Redondo Beach, 2.7 percent; Manhattan Beach, 1.9 percent; Los 
Angeles, 5.4 percent, and Torrance, 3.1 percent. Pretty good, huh?
  How did we get here? Part of it is the ingenuity of the private 
sector. The other part is the successful Federal efforts to balance the 
budget in a balanced way. I am a veteran of the budget wars. I voted 
for the 1993 Budget Act, Penny-Kasich, to cut $90 billion in spending, 
the Balanced Budget Constitutional Amendment, the 1997 Budget Act.
  Though my family and I would benefit from the bill before us, now is 
not the time. I join the Blue Dogs in insisting on a budget first. I 
want unemployment to stay low. That will only happen if we do not pass 
a tax cut until we know we can afford it.
  Mr. REYNOLDS. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. MOAKLEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Arkansas (Mr. Ross).
  Mr. ROSS. Mr. Speaker, I support the largest tax cut possible, but I 
want to see a budget first. The law requires it, and as a small 
business owner, I demand it. We need to pay down the debt. It is out of 
control, nearly $6 trillion.
  The American people deserve to know that our government is spending 
over $1 billion a day simply paying interest on the debt, some $360 
billion every single year.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to see in a budget how we pay down that debt. I 
want to see in a budget how we save Social Security, how we modernize 
Medicare to include medicine for our seniors. I want us to recognize 
and admit to the American people that while we had a surplus yesterday 
or last year, it is only $8 billion, when you take all the trust fund 
monies, the Social Security, the Medicare, military retiree, Federal 
employee retiree trust funds out of the equation.
  Mr. Speaker, $8 billion only pays 6 days of interest on the national 
debt. I want a tax cut. I want a budget first. I want to save Social 
Security. I want to pay down the debt.
  Mr. REYNOLDS. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. MOAKLEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Texas (Mr. Turner).
  Mr. TURNER. Mr. Speaker, the House is being asked today to do 
something that no family or no business in this country would do, and 
that is embark on major financial decisions without first having a 
budget. The Congressional Budget Act was passed for the purpose of 
requiring this Congress to act on a budget first. Irrespective of the 
technicalities, clearly the spirit of the Budget Act is being violated 
here today.
  The 33 members of the Blue Dog Democrat Coalition are working hard 
today to send the message to all of our friends in this House that it 
is important to have a budget first. Democrats want the largest tax cut 
we can afford, but how in the world do you know how large a tax cut you 
can afford until you first go through a budget process?
  It matters not what budget I am for. It matters not what budget the 
President is for. It matters not what budget you are for. The process 
is that we all work together. We debate it out, and we vote and we have 
a budget. And when you do, you then know how big a tax cut you can 
afford.
  Mr. REYNOLDS. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. MOAKLEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Kansas (Mr. Moore).
  Mr. MOORE. Mr. Speaker, I want a tax cut. And I voted with the 
majority party twice last year for tax cuts, marriage penalty relief 
and estate tax relief. This is not and should not be a partisan issue.
  People on both sides of the aisle want tax cuts. The real question is 
how do we do this responsibly and how do we deliver to the American 
people what we should give them. I hear over and over from my friends 
on the other side of the aisle there is a surplus; what there is, in 
fact, is a projected surplus. Big difference, big difference, a 
projected surplus of $5.6 trillion over the next 10 years.
  Mr. Speaker, just last Monday, the weather projection was 12 inches 
of snow in Washington, D.C. It did not materialize. Twelve inches of 
snow did not materialize, and I hope that the projections for the 
economy for the next 10 years are better than the weather predictions, 
but we cannot count on that. If we are going to be responsible, I think 
what we should do is wait to see if some of these projected surpluses 
actually materialize before we start spending this money.
  Mr. Speaker, right now we have placed a $5.7 trillion mortgage on the 
future of our children and grandchildren. I think we have some 
responsibility to our children, as well as to taxpayers in this 
country, to balance this out. Yes, if these projections come true, we 
can and should have significant tax cuts. We can and should 
significantly pay down our national debt.
  I agree with the President's priorities, and I think you are going to 
find broad support with the President's priorities in the areas of 
education, defense and prescription drug benefits, but we must be 
responsible. If we are not, we are going to put our country back in a 
hole that we have just climbed out of from 30 years of deficit 
spending.
  Let us do the right thing. Let us do the bipartisan thing and do a 
budget first.
  Mr. REYNOLDS. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Illinois (Mr. Manzullo).
  Mr. MANZULLO. Mr. Speaker, as chairman of the Committee on Small 
Business, I urge all of my colleagues to vote yes on H.R. 3.
  The vast majority of small businesses are sole proprietors, S 
corporations and partnerships, yet they pay individual taxes anywhere 
from 15 percent to as high as 39.6 percent. The National Federation of 
Independent Businesses surveyed some of its members. Two full volumes 
of responses came back, one of those from Fabiola Francisco in our 
Nation's capital, who is a small business owner earning $36,000 a year 
with two young sons. She mirrors thousands of small business 
entrepreneurs throughout the Nation.
  Most of the recipients or most of the people who responded to the 
NFIB survey said if their taxes are reduced, they would spend the money 
they save to obtain health benefits for their employees.
  This tax cut makes sense, because for the small business people, it 
allows them to keep more money from the Federal Government and to give 
that money to their hard-working employees.
  Mr. MOAKLEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge defeat of the previous question. If the previous 
question is defeated, I will offer an amendment to the rule to require 
that Congress first adopt the budget resolution for fiscal year 2002 
before the House takes up this tax bill.
  We need a budget first to see if we can afford this level of tax 
relief and still pay down the debt, reform education, modernize our 
school buildings and reduce class size.
  Mr. Speaker, can we afford this trillion dollar tax bill and still 
give our senior citizens the opportunity not to have to choose between 
paying for food or paying for their prescription drugs? Can we still 
shore up Social Security and Medicare and pay down the debt?
  Mr. Speaker, I urge a no vote on the previous question.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to put the text of my amendment 
in the Record immediately before the vote on the previous question.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Massachusetts?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. MOAKLEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. REYNOLDS. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, as I conclude my remarks, we then will have a vote, and 
if you support tax relief, you vote for the rule. If you do not want 
tax relief, you vote against it.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield the remaining time to the gentleman from 
California

[[Page H757]]

(Mr. Dreier), the chairman of the Committee on Rules.
  (Mr. DREIER asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, what a terrific week this is for the 
American people. Just yesterday, we were able in a bipartisan way to 
reduce the onerous regulatory burden imposed on them, jeopardizing 
economic growth, and today we are going to have the opportunity to 
allow them to keep more of their own hard earned money.
  In just 47 days, President Bush has done a phenomenal job of changing 
the makeup here in Washington. I am very pleased that again in a 
bipartisan way, Democrats and Republicans alike, are talking about the 
importance of reducing the tax burden on working Americans.
  Mr. Speaker, I happen to believe that the plan that we have put 
forward is by far and away the best one, because it is geared towards 
economic growth. It is geared towards fairness, and it is geared 
towards removing barriers to the middle class.
  I have been fascinated over the past hour to listen to the attempt by 
many to rewrite the history of the 1980s, when Ronald Reagan was 
President. If you go back and look at what happened when the Economic 
Recovery Tax Act of 1981 was passed, we were able to double the flow of 
revenues to the Federal Treasury by reducing a tax burden. Many people 
said look at the deficits at the end of the 1980s.
  The fact of the matter is if you take defense out of the mix, if we 
had simply had a freeze on domestic spending, a freeze on domestic 
spending at the rate of inflation during the 1980s, by 1989, when 
Ronald Reagan retired from the White House, we would have had a $250 
billion surplus at that point.
  We have to realize that article 1, section 7 makes it very clear, 
taxing and spending emanates right here in the House of 
Representatives. So we need to do everything that we possibly can to 
make sure that we put into place this plan to allow the American people 
to keep more of their hard earned money, to encourage economic growth, 
and to bring about as much fairness as we possibly can.
  This rule is very fair. We make in order the Democratic substitute. I 
hope very much that we will be able to have bipartisan support for it, 
and I know we will when it comes to bringing about this reduction in 
the tax burden.
  Mr. GOSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of this fair rule. It 
is unfortunate that so many of my Democrat colleagues can't seem to put 
down last week's talking points. This rule gives them two--not one as 
they had inappropriately feared--bites at the apple. We will have a 
full and fair debate on their vision of tax relief and one on ours. But 
now that we have fully accommodated their request for two bites, they 
play the ``bait and switch'' on how long we will debate this bill. It 
is transparently partisan and obstructionist and I doubt that the 
American people will be fooled.
  The folks I represent don't want us to sit here and talk and talk and 
talk about tax relief. They want us to act. President Bush made tax 
relief for all Americans one of the hallmarks of his campaign. He stuck 
with it when the beltway elites said it was wrong. Or couldn't be done. 
And now as President he has kept his word and forwarded a responsible 
proposal that provides tax cuts, pays down the national debt and 
ensures the availability of Medicare and Social Security.
  Today Congress will take the first step to utilize part of the non 
Social Security surplus for the benefit of our taxpayers. H.R. 3 
represents the core of President Bush's plan. The implementation of 
H.R. 3 would provide a savings of $958 million over ten years--
including a $360 return for couples as early as 2001. In fact, 
taxpayers in my home state of Florida will get to keep $48 million 
dollars more of their own money.
  H.R. 3 provides the right balance in reducing marginal tax rates. 
While all five brackets are collapsed into 4 lower ones, H.R. 3 moves 
folks in the lowest 15 percent bracket to 10 percent retroactively, 
giving them a benefit immediately. In fact, for my Democrat friends who 
suggest this will not help lower income Americans, I would point out 
that 48 million Americans will pay no Federal income taxes at all in 
2001 as a result of our action.
  It is a basic debate we are having today and it does not take a long 
time to figure out where you stand. Do you stand on the side of working 
Americans who have seen their incomes rise only to be further 
eradicated by a tax system that discourages achievement? Or do you 
choose the ``politics of the past'' * * *  class warfare disguised as 
fiscal responsibility?
  I commend Chairman Thomas for his leadership in moving this important 
legislation in such a timely manner. I urge a ``yes'' vote on the rule 
and a strong yes on final passage.
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition of the 
rule for H.R. 3 which provides for only one amendment to this major 
piece of legislation. The Republican Leadership has simply pushed this 
legislation to the floor with irresponsible tax proposals that will 
exceed $2 trillion. I must oppose this rule which prevents many of my 
concerned colleagues from even offering amendments to a tax plan that 
overwhelmingly benefits the wealthiest Americans.
  Mr. Speaker, these tax cuts would go to one percent of taxpayers with 
the highest incomes--a group whose incomes have soared in recent years 
and have risen much more rapidly than the incomes of the rest of the 
population--and would exceed the new resources proposed for all other 
national priorities combined.
  The bill reduces Federal revenues by $958.2 billion over 10 years, 
and represents the first installment of President Bush's proposed $1.62 
trillion tax cut plan, accounting for 60 percent of the total cost of 
the President's proposal. If enacted, Mr. Speaker, it would effect the 
first reduction in Federal income tax rates since 1981.
  The net effect of these changes, however, would have a number of 
adverse consequences for Americans. For example, a third to one-half of 
children in many States live in families that would not receive any tax 
reduction from the President's tax proposal, according to a new 
analysis from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. In 12 States 
plus the District of Columbia, at least 40 percent of children live in 
such families. The analysis uses Census Bureau data to estimate, on a 
State-by-State basis, the number of families' incomes are too low for 
them to owe Federal Bush plan because these families' incomes are too 
low for them to owe Federal income taxes. The large majority of these 
families, however, work and pay payroll taxes and other taxes 
unaffected by President Bush's proposal. H.R. 3 reduces only income 
taxes and taxes on large estates.
  This legislation simply is inadequate because substantial numbers of 
children in every state would not benefit from the President's plan. 
Some states would have especially high numbers of unaffected children. 
These states include my state of Texas (2.3 million children 
unaffected), California (3.7 million), New York (1.9 million), and 
Florida (1.2 million). In each of another eight states with at least 
half a million children would gain nothing from H.R. 3, the proposed 
tax plan.
  Nationwide, an estimated 12.2 million low-and moderate-income 
families with children--31.5 percent of all families with children--
would not receive any tax reduction from the Bush proposal. This 
funding is consistent with independent analysis conducted by the 
researchers from the Brookings Institution, the Urban Institute, and 
the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. The vast majority of the 
excluded families include workers.
  The tax plan under consideration would squander all of the funds 
necessary for critical investments in the future. We cannot afford to 
forgo a surplus that needs to be used for education, prescription 
drugs, and ensuring the solvency of Social Security and Medicare.
  For these reasons, I look forward to supporting the Democratic 
Substitute that provides immediate and fair tax relief for middle 
income families and is also fiscally responsible. A new 12 percent tax 
bracket would be created, thereby giving an across-the-board rate cut 
for all Americans--but one which will overwhelmingly benefit middle 
income taxpayers.
  The tax plan numbers contained in H.R. 3 just do not add up, and the 
surplus estimates that have been used are completely unreliable. 
Accordingly, I want to urge my colleagues to oppose H.R. 3 and support 
the Democratic Substitute that will be offered.
  Mrs. CLAYTON. Mr. Speaker, I oppose this rule which violates U.S. 
House Budget principles by allowing consideration of a tax proposal 
prior to the adoption of a budget resolution.
  The President's tax cuts are too big, are based on fuzzy math and 
unreliable long-term economic projections, unfairly favor the very 
wealthy, provide absolutely no benefit for many low-wage earners, 
provide limited economic benefits for the next five years, fail to 
adequately protect Social Security and Medicare, and are being 
considered before the House adopts a budget in violation of budget laws 
and common sense economic planning principles.
  If we choose wisely, we can provide sensible tax relief for all 
Americans, we can pay down the national debt, and we can invest in the 
priorities of the American people and the people of the First District 
of North Carolina--providing quality educational opportunities for all 
of our children, providing prescription drugs

[[Page H758]]

for our senior citizens so that they do not have to make the tough 
choice of buying medicine or buying food, supporting our hard working 
farmers, fighting the scourge of child poverty, and strengthening our 
social security systems so Americans can rest easy today confident in a 
secure retirement tomorrow.
  But I am concerned that we will squander this opportunity before 
having a serious debate about priorities.
  President Bush talks about taking down the toll booth to the middle 
class, but is this what his tax plan would really do? A closer look at 
who would benefit from the President's proposal reveals that, rather 
than taking down the toll booth to the middle class, the President's 
tax plan simply puts the wealth on the express lane to the bank. Under 
President Bush's proposed plan:
  The top one percent would receive between 36-43 percent of the tax 
cut. This is more than the bottom 80 percent combined would receive. 
They would receive 29 percent of the tax cut.
  The top one percent of the population would receive an average cut of 
$39,000 dollars--that's twice as much as the median household income in 
some of the countes in my district.
  According to the Treasury Department, the top 1 percent of the 
population pays 20 percent of all Federal taxes under current law.
  Although the President claims that low and moderate income working 
families receive the largest percentage tax reduction, such claims are 
based only on income taxes. In fact, these families pay more in Federal 
payroll taxes than they do in income taxes. Therefore a large 
percentage of a very low tax liability, one based only on income tax, 
is not really much assistance at all.
  This means that there will be little benefit to the counties of the 
First Congressional district. In Warren County North Carolina, the 
average family makes just under $17,000 a year. But under President 
Bush's proposal, a family of four wouldn't benefit unless their income 
was $25,000 or higher.
  The chilling grip of poverty touches too many of our children. I'm 
saddened that when people talk about a tax plan which, rather than 
leaving no child behind, leaves behind 24 million children, including 
over 6 million black children. When we talk seriously about sensible 
tax relief for all Americans, should we be considering tax cuts that 
would not even affect half of black children?
  There is money for sensible and just tax relief. But tax relief, like 
everything that we do, should follow the principle of ``fairness for 
all.''
  Mr. MOAKLEY. Mr. Speaker, I include for the Record the previous 
question amendment to House Resolution 83, as follows:

  Previous Question Amendment to House Resolution 83 To Be Offered by 
                         Representative Moakley

resolution'' and insert ``That upon the adoption by Congress of a 
concurrent resolution on the budget for the fiscal year 2002''.

  Mr. REYNOLDS. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time, and I 
move the previous question on the resolution.
