On the recordDecember 17, 2015
As chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, I have asked that the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation make available to the public a technical explanation of the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015, which the House is considering today. The Joint Committee on Taxation has issued that technical explanation as JCX-144-15, and it expresses the Ways and Means Committee's understanding and legislative intent behind this important legislation. It is available on the Joint Committee on Taxation's Web site at www.jct.gov. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Boustany), who leads the Subcommittee on Tax Policy for the Committee on Ways and Means.
