Orrin Hatch

it's my hope that we're able to bring the two sides together on this issue in the months ahead.

This is an important issue, and this hearing will allow the committee to hear from experienced and well-educated witnesses who can provide more context on our affordable housing policies and the sections of the tax code that were written…

Tax reform presents a unique opportunity to create an outcome based framework that encourages greater private capital investment in attainable housing.

We applaud Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch's and Committee member Senator Maria Cantwell's leadership in championing legislation to expand and strengthen the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit.

I rise today to once again remind my Senate colleagues what is at stake with the procedural vote that took place today. The Senate voted on the motion to proceed to the House-passed budget reconciliation bill. The Senate will now start…

I appreciate the Committee giving fair consideration to this legislation and providing me the opportunity to speak with you here today.

Riding off-highway vehicles, or OHVs, is an integral part of the local culture.

That is why I introduced legislation that would give certainty to the OHV community by ensuring that the most treasured area for OHV access is preserved.

Unfortunately, for too long members of the OHV community in Washington County have had to deal with increased uncertainty about long-term OHV access.

I would like to speak in support of the Southern Utah Open OHV Areas Act which would establish much-needed guaranteed protections for recreational access.

July 24 marks a significant milestone in the history of my home State of Utah. On this day, 170 years ago, Brigham Young and the Mormon pioneers first entered the Salt Lake Valley. Facing violence and discrimination at every turn, Utah's…

I speak today to bid farewell to Kimberly Brandt. Kim has worked for the Senate Finance Committee as the chief oversight counsel for more than 6 years. Kim came to the Finance Committee after years of public service, and she leaves it to…

Thank you, Mr. President. President Ronald Reagan used to say that people are policy. Attacking a new President's policies, therefore, often includes undermining his or her ability to appoint men and women to lead his or her…

Mr. Delrahim's appointment is just one example among many. This particular example serves an important case in point. Democrats are deliberately slow walking dozens of confirmations in a cynical effort to stall the President's agenda and…

the final pieces of ObamaCare were signed into law a little over 7 years ago. Since that time, Republicans--not just in Congress but throughout the country--have been united in their opposition to the law and our commitment to repeal it…

If confirmed, I will strive each day of my tenure to ensure that the Department and its 8,000 dedicated employees operate in a legal and ethical manner.

My sincere hope--which I have repeated numerous times--is that our Democratic colleagues will be willing to join in this effort.

Tax reform should not have to be a partisan exercise.

serious consideration should be given to Senator Warren's proposal which could dramatically simplify taxes, even eliminate tax return preparation costs.

Chairman Hatch has spoken out against this policy, as has Chairman Grassley.

He is honest, straightforward, very dedicated, intelligent, about everything you would want in somebody working with Treasury.

I will work to apply the law thoughtfully, vigorously and as Congress intended.

I am still hoping that tax reform can be bipartisan.

For our current efforts, I would add a fourth goal: American competitiveness.

On a number of occasions, I've stated my view that presidential leadership will be a key component to any successful tax reform effort.
