To the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United
  States of America, in Congress assembled:
  We, your memorialists, the Seventy-first Legislative Assembly
of the State of Oregon, in legislative session assembled,
respectfully represent as follows:
  Whereas federal taxes are the highest they ever have been
during peacetime; and
  Whereas all taxpayers should be allowed to keep more of their
money; and
  Whereas the best way to encourage economic growth is to cut
marginal tax rates across all tax brackets; and
  Whereas under current tax law, low-income workers often pay the
highest marginal tax rates; and
  Whereas President Bush's tax relief plan will contribute to
raising the standard of living for all Americans; and
  Whereas President Bush's tax relief plan will increase access
to the middle class for hardworking families, treat all
middle-class families more fairly, encourage entrepreneurship and
growth, and promote charitable giving and education; and
  Whereas under President Bush's tax relief plan, the largest
percentage reductions will go to the lower-income earners; now,
therefore,
 
Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of
  Oregon:
 
  (1) The Congress of the United States is respectfully requested
to support and work to pass the tax relief plan introduced by
President Bush.
  (2) A copy of this memorial shall be sent to each member of the
Oregon Congressional Delegation.
