                     PRESIDENT BUSH'S ECONOMIC PLAN

  (Mr. GINGREY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GINGREY. Mr. Speaker, Ronald Reagan once said that the best thing 
that the government can do to stimulate the economy is get out of the 
way, and I agree completely. President Bush's economic growth and jobs 
creation plan is a perfect blueprint for

what elected officials should do to stimulate this economy and create 
jobs.
  I want to just tell my colleagues briefly about a small company in my 
district, the 11th of Georgia, the Daisaka company owned by Patty and 
Carlos Suarez. This is a glass-decorating company. They started 5 or 6 
years ago with 6 employees and now have 45, but the Suarezes want to 
grow that company. With the increase of the capital credit from $25,000 
to $75,000 a year they are going to be able to do that and create 10 or 
12 additional jobs and grow that company.
  We need to pass this economic growth and job creation package now so 
that more and more small businesses in this country, we estimate 23 
million of them, will benefit from this growth package and end up 
creating 1.2 million jobs.
  I commend the President and we need to get on with that business and 
pass that package.
