                        THE PRESIDENT'S POLICIES

  (Mrs. MILLER of Michigan asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, tonight President Bush will 
offer his optimistic vision for our great Nation.
  President Bush has been a remarkably strong leader in trying times. 
He inherited an economy headed into recession and took very bold 
action. He cut taxes for every American and softened the blow of tough 
economic times. He extended prescription drug benefits and coverage to 
our Nation's seniors who depend on Medicare. He was faced with 
unprecedented terrorist attacks that threatened our freedom. He did not 
sit back. He did not appease, as some have advocated. Instead, he took 
the fight to the terrorists, and America now has the initiative in the 
war on terror.
  The President's policies are getting America back to work. His 
policies will further grow our economy and create jobs. His policies 
will expand educational opportunities for our children. His policies 
will work to ensure that quality health care is available to every 
American.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud of our great President and look forward to 
hearing his positive views for our Nation this evening.
