The one that really worries me is the Congressional Review Act. It has the potential to completely undermine the franchise business model.

The proliferation of digital service taxes over the past 5 years is concerning to members on both sides of the aisle.

Their goal is an admirable one: providing stability to the international tax system.

We are not going to stand by idly and watch the Biden administration and Treasury Department sacrifice American tax dollars for political gain.

We greatly appreciate the leadership of Representative Fischbach, Representative LaMalfa and Representative Thompson for the introduction of the HEN Act.

I am here today to express Delta's strong support for the HEN ACT and to thank Congresswoman Fischbach, Congressman LaMalfa, and Congressman Thompson for their leadership on this critical piece of legislation.

My legislation builds upon the section 4(d) rules and gives the agencies authority to follow the same process for species that are listed as endangered under the ESA.

This policy isn't only being pushed by Republicans or industry.

The ESA has become a one-size-fits-all approach to species management.

I am looking forward to him supporting my delisting of the gray wolf.

I agree with my Democratic colleagues that the child tax credit portion of this bill should be stronger. Be that as it may, in a divided government, you don't always get exactly what you want, and this bill is an improvement over the…

Republicans have been doing all that they can to protect that tax evasion.

Since first joining this Ways and Means Committee more than 20 years ago, one of my top priorities has been shutting down abusive offshore tax havens.

As a matter of fact, one of the witnesses mentioned that, too. I mentioned to the chairman that, you know, that old saying that if you are not at the table, you are on the menu, and I think that might hold true here, as well.

I am glad that, notwithstanding some resistance from my colleagues on the other side, the Biden Administration, Secretary Yellen, and you have been steadfast in your commitment to representing the United States at the OECD.

Protecting U.S. interests has been a consistent priority for the multiple administrations that have been involved in these negotiations.
