TO THE MEMBERS OF THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce strongly supports H. Con. Res. 71, the budget

resolution for fiscal year 2018 and associated reconciliation instructions. The Chamber

will include votes on, or in relation to, this legislation in our annual How They Voted

scorecard.

This budget resolution takes on substantial importance because it is necessary to

clear the path for pro-growth, comprehensive tax reform.

Make no mistake, the consequences are great. Failing to pass an FY18 budget

would extinguish this once-in-a-generation opportunity to simplify the arcane tax code

and thereby help families who are struggling to make ends meet, help employers create

jobs, increase American competitiveness, and foster strong, sustained economic growth.

Congress must pass H. Con. Res. 71 with reconciliation instructions that will

unlock pro-growth tax reform, and the Chamber urges you to support H. Con. Res. 71.

Sincerely,

Suzanne P. Clark

Senior Executive Vice President

Government Affairs
