              TAX RELIEF IS VICTORY FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES

  (Mr. RYUN of Kansas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RYUN of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, tax relief for American families has 
been one of my top priorities; so when George Bush ran for President, 
he made the promise to bring relief to families, and that was like a 
breath of fresh air.
  This year, President Bush laid out specific proposals for tax relief. 
Some scoffed at the idea of tax relief. Many actively worked to keep 
Americans from keeping more of their hard-earned tax dollars.
  Mr. Speaker, we have now passed tax relief for American families, and 
later this summer every American who pays taxes will actually get a tax 
rebate check. These checks come as a promise kept to the American 
people and are only the first installment of a long-term tax reduction.
  When this tax plan is fully implemented, a typical family of four 
will see their taxes nearly cut in half. Soon American taxpayers will 
be keeping more of what they earn. This truly is a victory for American 
families.
