                THE PRESIDENT'S JOBS AND GROWTH PACKAGE

  (Ms. PRYCE of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PRYCE of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, in his first year in office, 
President Bush has put his MBA to the test and he has passed with very 
high marks. Through a recession, a terrorist attack and a war, the 
President has amply demonstrated leadership, helping businesses and 
their workers pull through some pretty tough times. The President and 
House Republicans understand a simple concept: When America works, 
America prospers. And the best way to foster that prosperity is by 
giving businesses the tools they need to create jobs and to grow the 
economy. Government does not tax things. Government taxes people. When 
workers and business owners are not allowed to keep the money they 
earn, productivity suffers, wages decline and research and development 
gets postponed. That is why the President's jobs and growth plan is so 
vital, because one American out of work is too many. When America 
works, America grows. When America works, America prospers. And when 
America works, America is proud.
  Let us get to work along with the President, exert some leadership 
and get this country back to work.
