To the Congress of the United States

     Enclosed please find my plan to provide needed tax relief to the American people.  Over the last several months, the economy has slowed dramatically.  I believe that the best way to ensure that our prosperity continues is to put more money in the hands of consumers and entrepreneurs as soon as possible.  I look forward to working with the Congress to enact meaningful tax cuts into law.

                                       GEORGE W. BUSH
