                     REMOVING THE TAX ON DIVIDENDS

  (Mr. SESSIONS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, President Bush this week announced plans 
to make sure that in the tax proposals that this Congress will address 
that as part of that tax package we will not tax dividends, and I want 
to stand up and say how proud I am of what the President is doing 
because it is furthering the commitment that I believe this House of 
Representatives should have as well as the President to where we do not 
tax savings or investment in America.
  I believe as the vigorous debate takes place across this country and 
in this body we will find out that this will be good for people who 
will be able to save money, save money, and not have it taxed in 
between that period of time every year for tax purposes but will see 
their savings grow. I am proud of what this President is doing. I plan 
to support not only his tax bill but the things the President does, and 
I offer a hearty congratulations to the President of the United States, 
George W. Bush.
