                       ASSURING AMERICA'S FUTURE

  (Mr. BRADY of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BRADY of Texas. Madam Speaker, let American workers have no doubt 
who is on their side. Across-the-board tax relief means all taxpayers 
will get to keep a little more of what they earn, not what Washington 
earns, what they earn. Unlike the approach offered by the other side 
whereby only some people get a tax cut while others do not, the 
Republican approach means that if one pays taxes, if one is giving up 
one's hard-earned paycheck, one is going to get a little more tax 
relief.
  Our education reforms will cut the Federal bureaucracy and send more 
money directly down to teachers. Our Social Security reforms will 
protect seniors who are in the program, the near elderly, the baby 
boomers like myself, and especially those young people coming into a 
system they do not believe is ever going to be there when they need it 
at retirement.
  Our proposal to build a long-term 21st century defense system will 
address new threats to our Nation. That is how Republicans propose to 
secure America's future.
