                        TAX CUTS AND JOB GROWTH

  (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, look at all of these new jobs: 1.4 million 
since August 2003. Mr. Speaker, this recovery is further proof that 
cutting taxes and reducing the burden of government on American 
citizens and businesses stimulates economic growth, as President Reagan 
understood so well.
  In fact, there is one very telling statistic. In the last 100 days, 
there have been over 1 million jobs created. Let me restate that, 1 
million jobs in 100 days.
  This is a true sign of the times, a time of prosperity and 
opportunity. President Bush was correct in his policy to cut taxes to 
stimulate economic growth, and now we have substantial job growth.
  Once again, Mr. Speaker, it is time to make these tax cuts permanent. 
I know of 1.4 million people and counting who most certainly would 
agree.
