Senator Chuck Grassley

 

135 Hart Senate Building

 

Washington, D. C. 20510-3744

 

 

Via Facsimile @ 202.224.6020 and FEDEX

 

 

Dear Senator Grassley:

 

 

We, the undersigned in our individual capacities, strongly support the nomination of Eric Solomon to be Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Tax Policy and hope that the U.S. Senate confirms his nomination as soon as possible. Mr. Solomon embodies the key attributes necessary for the proper administration of the U.S. tax system: Fairness, technical expertise, and an open mind to change if the system can be improved.

As an advisor to the Taxation Section of the State Bar of California, Mr. Solomon has always been generous with his time, knowledge, advice, and analysis of current tax issues. Mr. Solomon annually welcomes our delegation of tax attorneys and discusses issues which we feel are important to the citizens of California and the nation. Moreover, he regularly speaks at our annual tax meetings.

Our relationship with Mr. Solomon has been apolitical and does not involve client representation. Whatever the issues are, Mr. Solomon is focused on sound tax policy and effective, efficient tax administration. His technical expertise is extraordinary and renowned. His ability to understand complex tax issues is rivaled only by his gift of articulation.

In our private conversations we regard Eric as an ambassador of the U.S. Treasury. For all of these reasons, we endorse his nomination and hope it will be quickly confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

Sincerely,

 

 

Stuart M. Hurwitz
