Protects as a whole i will welcome the 74,000 new jobs headed our way because of tax reform t also means hardworking americans, everywhere are going to see more in their paychecks and they need it so badly. We all know this quote, will rogers, the difference between death and taxes, that death doesnt get worse every Time Congress meets. It is funny but really perfectly captures how most americans have come to feel about our tax code over these past decades because with the tax code we have today americans have seen it get worse and worse and worse. They have seen it get more unfair, more complex, and even more uncompetitive. Well, when congress met today, americans finally saw something different. They saw us all come together, to make our tax system better, for them, in our nation. Today was a major step forward but this is certainly not the last step in our tax reform journey. We still have a way to go. Well continue to listen to the American

Native Settlement Trust in 1988, to provide Permanent Health ed health, education, and Welfare Benefits to alaska natives who were among the most economically disvanged population in the United States. Unfortunately, mr. Chairman, the tax code has many cases impeded the creation and funding of the settlements. As a result, alaska native Settlement Trust have not been able to function in the Manner Congress originally intended, to provide benefits for alaska natives.

R. 3524 in the final conference report that results from the conference committee. Mr. Bra
