back January 6, 2005   Congress Unanimously Approves Tsunami Tax Relief The U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate today approved by unanimous consent legislation to encourage further cash donations to aid the victims of the tsunami that struck in the Indian Ocean.   The measure allows Americans donating cash to tsunami relief efforts through January 2005 to deduct those contributions from their 2004 tax returns – making it easier for people to reach out and assist tsunami victims greatly in need of help in the aftermath of this tragedy.
