Senate Amendment 3179

Amendment Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Amend Senate Concurrent Resolution 13 as follows:
  1  2    #1.  By striking page 1, line 8, through page 2,
  1  3 line 11, and inserting the following:  
  1  4 "A Concurrent Resolution requesting the congressional
  1  5    delegation of the state of Iowa to support a
  1  6    bipartisan effort to provide tax relief.
  1  7    WHEREAS, the prosperity of the past decade as the
  1  8 result of fiscal policies by President Bush and
  1  9 President Clinton has provided us with the opportunity
  1 10 to reduce taxes; and
  1 11    WHEREAS, a portion of government surpluses should
  1 12 be returned to the taxpayers; and
  1 13    WHEREAS, all families deserve a reduction in their
  1 14 tax rates; and
  1 15    WHEREAS, Iowa's Senator Charles E. Grassley, Chair
  1 16 of the Senate Finance Committee, has wisely held up
  1 17 consideration of tax changes until May 2001, thereby
  1 18 refusing to rush to judgment and to provide time for
  1 19 additional discussion; and
  1 20    WHEREAS, the opportunity exists for the United
  1 21 States Congress to provide tax relief this year and
  1 22 address other pressing national problems; NOW
  1 23 THEREFORE,
  1 24    BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE, THE HOUSE OF
  1 25 REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING, That the General Assembly
  1 26 urges Iowa's elected Senators and Representatives in
  1 27 the United States Congress to support and work to pass
  1 28 a fiscally responsible, commonsense package of tax
  1 29 relief and budget measures that not only provides
  1 30 substantial tax savings but also addresses pressing
  1 31 national priorities such as the establishment of a
  1 32 prescription drug benefit plan for America's seniors,
  1 33 the strengthening of the social security and Medicare
  1 34 systems, and a substantial reduction in the national
  1 35 debt.
  1 36    BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That, upon passage, copies
  1 37 of this Resolution shall be sent by the Secretary of
  1 38 the Senate to Senator Charles E. Grassley, Senator Tom
  1 39 Harkin, Representative Jim Leach, Representative Jim
  1 40 Nussle, Representative Leonard Boswell, Representative
  1 41 Greg Ganske, and Representative Tom Latham."
