                        MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE

  (Mr. BROWN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BROWN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow the United States Senate is 
going to likely pass, or at least try to pass, tax legislation to give 
tax cuts to 800 families in Ohio. Recently, this Congress voted or the 
Senate voted to cut a college tax credit that would affect 100,000 
families in Ohio.
  This place is about choices. Give a tax cut to the wealthiest 800 
families in Ohio and, in order to pay for that, you eliminate a tax 
credit for 100,000 working, middle-class families to send their kids to 
college.
  That tells you a whole lot about family values. It tells you that 
this Congress has betrayed our values by helping the wealthiest 
taxpayers at the expense of middle-class, working families who simply 
want the opportunity to send their children to college to reach the 
American dream.
