It. And i guess my second question, based on what weve seen this morning with a delay, is there a possibility for republicans to actually have seen and read amanda chus amendment. As we laid out, to finish the amendments. Yesterday, you indicated there are five or six more you want to have us consider. Well do that we will then take up the managers amendment to bring the Committee Work under the 1. 5 trillion budget reconciliation and then we will include this markup later today. We will, as i said yesterday, even though its beyond ordinary regular order, we will introduce to you the managers amendment, as soon as practical, and we will give you a chance to analyze it. But we will, as we do with your amendment, we will take it up on on a timely basis. Have full debate on it before a vote is called. Mr. Chairman, i have to ask for unanimous content to have two letters put in the file. One is from the county of napa regarding the tax treatment of the fire victims. And the other one is fr
That briefing earlier today. Before the passage in the ways and Means Committee this afternoon of the republican tax reform bill to mark the markup session wrapping up today, the vote was 416. Heres some of the Committee Debate ahead of the final passage vote this afternoon. Mr. Brady are there further questions . Mr. Neal will there be sufficient time to digest the document, understanding were going to the floor quickly to vote for the last series of the week and because of time constraints the obvious view we hold on this side that we want time, to be able to take a look at whats in the managers amendment based on whats happened as of monday evening and the short notice we received on thursday, it appears likely that we will at this schedule and pace have very little time to see the managers amendment and then to professionally react to it. I suppose the second question, based upon what weve seen this morning with the delay is, has there been a possibility for republicans to actually
The committee will come to order. Mr. Chairman. Yes, sir. Might i request information as to how we intend to proceed today when we will see the managers amendment and will it be sufficient time to understand the document understanding that we are going to the floor pretty quickly and because time constraints and the view that we hold that we want time to be able to take a look at whats in the managers amendment based on whats happened as a monday evening and short notice that we received on thursday. It appears likely that we will at this schedule and pace have very little time to see the managers amendment and to react to it. I suppose the second question based upon what we have seen this morning with the delay is has there been a possibility for republicans to have seen and read and devoured the managers amendment . So as we laid out at the beginning of the week, we are convening today to finish the democratic amendments. You indicated there were five or six more you wanted to have u
At our word. They began investing billions of dollars, reference to the material i have entered into the record, to realize the promise of that. Your bill retroactively repeal disagreement. Jobs. T in jeopardy 50,000 you put in jeopardy up to 50 million of 50 investment, and you start spiraling best out of control. If we had ever had hearings that you could listen to the ,tilities, to the manufacturers and to the farmers and ranchers who are relying on these payments in kansas, in south dakota, missouri, and texas, i cant imagine you would put this in the bill and make it retroactive, risking this investment, reneging on the bill that we have worked on on a to establish. Is i cannot imagine what you are thinking. This represents a horrible failure of the process. I am sorry, mr. Chairman. I am eating into five minutes instead of three. I will stop in case one of my colleagues will yield to me. Chairman brady thank you for selfregulating yourself. Thank you, mr. Pomeroy. Mr. Blumenauer.
Type tax reform. Today is day two of the Senate Committee review live on capitol hill. This is just getting under way. It collects input from amendments that have been filed. Because of a larm number of amendments we have processed the modified mark will be given to members later today as has been discussed with our Ranking Member and everyone can then have time to read over the modifications. After that process we will resume a markup tomorrow morning with the modified mark. Before we proceed today i want to make a few comments. I appreciate members participation during yesterdays session. I was glad to hear everyones initial thoughts. However a number of issues were raised that in my view werent additional responses. First is a massive tax cut for the rich. That particular claim was repeated by almost every minority member of this committee. The problem with that is that its just not true. J. T. C. s analysis shouldnt be ignored all together. Secondly there was the repeated claim tha
