Key Vote Letter: House 2018 Budget Resolution

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:The U.S. Chamber of Commerce strongly supports H. Con. Res. 71, the budgetresolution for fiscal year 2018 and associated reconciliation instructions. The Chamberwill include votes on, or in relation to, this legislation in our annual How They Votedscorecard.This budget resolution takes on substantial importance because it is necessary toclear the path for pro-growth, comprehensive tax reform.Make no mistake, the consequences are great. Failing to pass an FY18 budgetwould extinguish this once-in-a-generation opportunity to simplify the arcane tax codeand thereby help families who are struggling to make ends meet, help employers createjobs, increase American competitiveness, and foster strong, sustained economic growth.Congress must pass H. Con. Res. 71 with reconciliation instructions that willunlock pro-growth tax reform, and the Chamber urges you to support H. Con. Res. 71.Sincerely,Suzanne P.
