               PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT IN NEW JERSEY

  (Mr. ZIMMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ZIMMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute Governor Christie 
Whitman and the legislature of the State of New Jersey.
  Yesterday, Mr. Speaker, the New Jersey Legislature by overwhelming 
bipartisan majorities voted to pass the third and final phase of 
Christie Whitman's 30 percent income tax cut.
  Two years ago, when Governor Whitman and the Republican candidates 
for the legislature promised that they would cut taxes in New Jersey by 
30 percent, a lot of people did not believe that they were going to do 
it, but they

kept their promise. They cut taxes, they cut spending, and they 
delivered for New Jersey families and for the New Jersey economy. No 
wonder Governor Whitman has made New Jersey a model for the other 49 
States and for this Congress.
  Promises made, promises kept. Lower taxes, more jobs. The New Jersey 
message resonates throughout the Nation and should be remembered in 
this Chamber.
