With Tax Cut Bill Passed, Republicans Call for One More Goal
By DAVID FIRESTONE

… "This ain't the end of it � we're going to have some more," said Representative Tom DeLay of Texas, the House majority leader, shortly before the 1:45 a.m. vote in which the House approved the tax plan. "Our budget says we're going to have $1.3 trillion in tax cuts, and you bet we're coming back for more."

… "The reason we have to sunset some of these taxes is because we had to fit within an artificial constraint of $350 billion," said Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, Republican of Texas, referring to a large number of cuts within the bill that last for only a few years. "What we certainly hope to do is not to sunset these tax cuts, the tax relief for hardworking American families, but instead to allow these to go forward. We will pass new legislation to do it."
