Max Baucus: “the CARE Act is an important piece of legislation that will help those organizations that are always there to help us.…”

“the CARE Act is an important piece of legislation that will help those organizations that are always there to help us. On balance, I believe the bill will encourage more charitable giving. And this is particularly important now, when demand on these organizations is out-pacing resources. This legislation would not have been possible without the contributions of many. First, I would like to thank the Finance Committee staff for their expert counsel and hard work. They spent many long hours perfecting this legislation. They are role models for those in public service. I appreciate the cooperation we received from the Republican staff members including Kolan Davis, Mark Prater, Dean Zerbe, Elizabeth Paris, Christy Mistr, and Ed McClellan. I want to especially thank my staff, including Jeff Forbes, John Angell, Russ Sullivan, Patrick Heck, and Jonathan Selib. I also want to mention our hardworking interns, Shawn White and Tyler Garrett. The Finance Committee staff worked closely with staff members from other Senate offices. They also were in touch with officials from the Administration, including Susan Brown and others from Treasury. The Joint Committee on Taxation provided technical assistance. Lindy Paull, Mary Schmitt, Roger Colinvaux, Ron Schultz, Sam Olchyk, Ray Beeman, and Brian Meighan. And many others. We owe many thanks for the assistance they provided.”
