Chairman Dave Camp

Washington, DC 20515

 

 

Dear Chairman Camp:

We are writing to follow-up on our discussion this morning and reiterate our interest in meeting next week to discuss the next steps the Committee must take in drafting bipartisan tax reform legislation.

As a full Committee, we have met to discuss all three tax reform proposals that you have made public to date. In addition to these discussions, the working group process allowed us to engage in a bipartisan review of current law and the issues confronting us in tax reform.

It is critical that all members of the Committee discuss and understand the tax reform process prior to the five week August recess, because once Congress reconvenes in September there will be only 40 legislative days remaining in the year. We are hopeful that the bipartisan groundwork that has been laid this year can result in bipartisan tax reform legislation from this Committee and request that you schedule a meeting next week to discuss the important questions on next steps.

We look forward to your response to our request.

Sincerely,

 

 

The Honorable Sander Levin

 

The Honorable Jim McDermott

 

The Honorable Richard E. Neal

 

The Honorable Lloyd Doggett

 

The Honorable John B. Larson

 

The Honorable Ron Kind

 

The Honorable Joseph Crowley

 

The Honorable Danny K. Davis

 

The Honorable Charles B. Rangel

 

The Honorable John Lewis

 

The Honorable Xavier Becerra

 

The Honorable Mike Thompson

 

The Honorable Earl Blumenauer

 

The Honorable Bill Pascrell Jr.

 

The Honorable Allyson Schwartz

 

The Honorable Linda T. Sanchez
