                AMERICANS DESERVE MEANINGFUL TAX RELIEF

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, we return to Washington to be about the 
business of the American people. During our district work period, in 
the 6th Congressional District of Arizona, an area in square mileage 
almost the size of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, one of the largest 
districts in the country, not only geographically, but also now as we 
do the estimates on representing close to 1 million people, I was 
pleased that close to 1,000 people joined my family and me at a tax 
relief rally April 15.
  Despite the talk of the pundits here on the banks of the Potomac, the 
American people understand, Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Georgia 
(Mr. Kingston) alluded to it earlier, it is not the other people's 
money, it is not the government's money, the money belongs to the hard-
working taxpayers of the United States.
  We owe it to the people who work hard and play by the rules to make 
sure that their money, our money is spent the right way. The best way 
to spend it is to put it back in the hands of people who earned it. 
Meaningful tax relief, we have offered it in terms of ending the 
earnings penalty for seniors. We hope that others will act on the 
marriage penalty as this body has done. The American people deserve 
more of their hard-earned money.
