                THANKS TO PRESIDENT BUSH FOR TAX REBATES

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I am glad he talked about tax 
relief, because that is what I want to emphasize, too.
  Thanks to President George W. Bush, for those who paid taxes for the 
year 2000, the check is in the mail. Taxpayers are likely to receive a 
$300 check in the mail if they are single, a $500 check if they are a 
single parent, and a $600 check if they are married. No one has to even 
fill out forms, or file anything. They just have to check their mailbox 
this summer.
  Depending on the last two digits of an individual's Social Security 
number, they could have that money in their pocket as early as July 23. 
Anyone wishing to find out should check www.samjohnson.house.gov, to 
learn when they will receive their rebate.
  Mr. Speaker, Americans are overtaxed. They are overtaxed, and they 
deserve a rebate.
