"I have heard some people suggest that oil and gas receives special tax treatment that is unavailable to other industries or other businesses."

"It is important to talk about taxes. Taxes affect everything we do."

"The private sector is not waiting on the Federal Government, but the Federal Government can throw obstacles in the way."

"I appreciate your clarifying that. I agree with, I think, every member of the committee or all the witnesses who said that we need greater certainty in our tax code."
