                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the President 
  of the United States shall, with the help of the Congress, address 
 comprehensive tax reform within the first 240 days of the President's 
                            administration.

Whereas the 44th President of the United States of America created the 
        bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform to 
        address our Nation's fiscal challenges;
Whereas the Commission was charged with identifying policies to improve our 
        national fiscal situation in the medium term and to achieve fiscal 
        sustainability over the long run;
Whereas the President, the majority leader of the Senate, the Speaker of the 
        House of Representatives, the minority leader of the Senate, and the 
        minority leader of the House of Representatives made appointments to the 
        Commission;
Whereas the Commission proposed comprehensive tax reform measures to lower tax 
        rates, reduce the deficit, simplify the tax code, and make America the 
        best place to start a business and create jobs; and
Whereas, that in the 240th year of our republic, it would be fitting to witness 
        a Rose Garden signing ceremony enacting tax reforms within the 
        President's first 240 days in office: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the President of the United States shall, with the help of the 
Congress, address comprehensive tax reform within the first 240 days of 
the President's administration.
