Statement on House of Representatives Action To Sustain the Tax Bill 
Veto

March 25, 1992
    I am pleased that the House of Representatives has voted to sustain 
my veto of the Democratic tax increase. This 215-211 vote indicates 
broad support for my position in both parties. We don't need a tax 
increase. We do need an economic growth package that will spur savings 
and investments in this country and create new jobs. I am hopeful that 
the many Democrats who gave us majority strength on the veto vote might 
join us on proposals to speed the economic recovery.
