Mr. President, I rise in support of the Portman amendment. We can all agree that tax reform should help create more good jobs and protect the good jobs we already have. I support the Portman amendment, and I look forward to colleagues supporting my amendment that ensures that companies that ship American jobs to foreign countries are not eligible for tax breaks. I want to work with my colleagues to make sure any tax reform package is good for American workers. Thank you, Mr. President. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Who yields time? If no one yields time, the question is on agreeing to the amendment. The amendment (No. 1422) was agreed to. Amendment No. 1234, as Modified The PRESIDING OFFICER. There will now be 2 minutes of debate, equally divided, prior to a vote in relation to Donnelly amendment No. 1234, as modified. The Senator from Indiana.
