     date of the enactment of this Act is increased by 26.5 
     percentage points.

                   Subtitle C--Tax Expenditure Study

     SEC. 621. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) Currently, the aggregate cost of Federal tax 
     expenditures rivals, or even exceeds, the amount of total 
     Federal discretionary spending.
       (2) Given the escalating public debt, a critical 
     examination of this use of taxpayer dollars is essential.
       (3) Additionally, tax expenditures can complicate the 
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986 for taxpayers and complicate 
     tax administration for the Internal Revenue Service.
       (4) To facilitate a better understanding of tax 
     expenditures in the future, it is constructive for 
     legislation extending these provisions to include a study of 
     such provisions.     

     SEC. 622. STUDY OF EXTENDED TAX EXPENDITURES.

       (a) In General.--Not later than November 30, 2010, the 
     Chief of Staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation, in 
     consultation with the Comptroller General of the United 
     States, shall submit to the Committee on Ways and Means of 
     the House of Representatives and the Committee on Finance of 
     the Senate a report on each tax expenditure (as defined in 
     section 3(3) of the Congressional Budget Impoundment Control 
     Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 622(3)) extended by this Act.
       (b) Rolling Submission of Reports.--The Chief of Staff of 
     the Joint Committee on Taxation shall initially submit the 
     reports for each such tax expenditure enacted in subtitle B 
     of title I (relating to business tax relief) and title IV 
     (relating to energy provisions) in order of the tax 
     expenditure incurring the least aggregate cost to the 
     greatest aggregate cost (determined by reference to the cost 
     estimate of this Act by the Joint Committee on Taxation). 
     Thereafter, such reports may be submitted in such order as 
     the Chief of Staff determines appropriate.
       (c) Contents of Report.--Such reports shall contain the 
     following:
       (1) An explanation of the tax expenditure and any relevant 
     economic, social, or other context under which it was first 
     enacted.
       (2) A description of the intended purpose of the tax 
     expenditure.
       (3) An analysis of the overall success of the tax 
     expenditure in achieving such purpose, and evidence 
     supporting such analysis.
       (4) An analysis of the extent to which further extending 
     the tax expenditure, or making it permanent, would contribute 
     to achieving such purpose.
       (5) A description of the direct and indirect beneficiaries 
     of the tax expenditure, including identifying any unintended 
     beneficiaries.
       (6) An analysis of whether the tax expenditure is the most 
     cost-effective method for achieving the purpose for which it 
     was intended, and a description of any more cost-effective 
     methods through which such purpose could be accomplished.
       (7) A description of any unintended effects of the tax 
     expenditure that are useful in understanding the tax 
     expenditure's overall value.
       (8) An analysis of how the tax expenditure could be 
     modified to better achieve its original purpose.
       (9) A brief description of any interactions (actual or 
     potential) with other tax expenditures or direct spending 
     programs in the same or related budget function worthy of 
     further study.
       (10) A description of any unavailable information the staff 
     of the Joint Committee on Taxation may need to complete a 
     more thorough examination and analysis of the tax 
     expenditure, and what must be done to make such information 
     available.
       (d) Minimum Analysis by Deadline.--In the event the Chief 
     of Staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation concludes it will 
     not be feasible to complete all reports by the date specified 
     in subsection (a), at a minimum, the reports for each tax 
     expenditure enacted in subtitle B of title I (relating to 
     business tax relief) and title IV (relating to energy 
     provisions) shall be completed by such date.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from New York (Mr. Rangel) and 
the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Camp) each will control 30 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New York.


                             General Leave

  Mr. RANGEL. Mr. Speaker, I ask that all Members have 5 legislative 
days to revise and extend their remarks and insert extraneous material 
in the Record.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from New York?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. RANGEL. Mr. Speaker, this package of extensions of legislation 
that are about to expire represents the real need for tax reform in 
this country. I have talked with the Ways and Means Committee ranking 
member to see whether or not our leadership can agree that the taxpayer 
really deserves better than this and should be able to depend on some 
continuity in the law.
  To that extent, we will be sending to the nonpartisan Joint Committee 
on Taxation all of these extenders that we hope will be supported 
overwhelmingly today to better advise us how we can get on with the tax 
reform to make certain that certain things like research and 
development and other great things that we have in this package would 
be made permanent, so that the taxpayers, corporate and private, would 
know what they can depend on, instead of just relying on the constant 
extensions which have passed this body before.
  So along with Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Camp, we ask 
that this committee take this up. And also we want to make it clear 
that the contents of this bill and the understandings of legislative 
intent is available on the Joint Committee's Web site, www.jct.gov. And 
it's listed under the document number JCX-60-09.
  This list of bills, as I said, concerns very important legislation, 
and our committee has worked very hard on this legislation.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like permission for the balance of my time to be 
turned over to Richard Neal, who heads up a special subcommittee on our 
Ways and Means Committee, who spent a great deal of time evaluating 
what we should do, along with Congressman Levin and other members of 
the Ways and Means Committee, and with your permission and the 
permission of the House, I'd like to yield the balance of the time that 
I have to Congressman Neal.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentleman from 
Massachusetts will control the balance of the time.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. RANGEL. Yes, I will.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, may I indulge in a colloquy with 
you?
  Mr. RANGEL. Yes, I yield to the gentleman.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. I would like to engage in a brief colloquy with 
you regarding a provision of great importance to the Alaska Native 
community. As you and I have previously discussed on numerous 
occasions, section 646 of the Internal Revenue Code allows Alaska 
Native Settlement Trusts to provide health, education, and welfare 
benefits to Alaska Natives, who are generally recognized as among the 
most economically disadvantaged populations in the United States.
  It is my understanding that this provision was not included in the 
bill before us today because the bill only extends tax benefits that 
terminate in 2009, and this benefit does not terminate until December 
31, 2010. Its omission is not a reflection of your views on the merits 
of the provision.
  Mr. RANGEL. The gentleman from Alaska is correct. I look forward to 
working with him on this important legislation for the Alaska Native 
community; and when the committee considered this and other provisions 
that have a later termination, all the other provisions we plan to take 
up with priority. And I thank you for bringing this to my attention.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'd like to thank you 
for your commitment to work on this provision and for your support of 
the Alaska Native people.
  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  It is the tradition of this House to annually extend certain tax 
relief items, everything from a research and development tax credit to 
incentives for the manufacture, purchase and use of alternative fuels, 
to credits that help offset out-of-pocket expenses for teachers that 
they incur buying materials for their classrooms.

[[Page H14398]]

  I helped write many of these provisions, and if the bill before us 
were truly a tax extenders bill, I'd be voting for it, as I have in 
previous years. However, the Democrats seemingly have never met a tax 
cut they liked; and, thus, the Democrats have turned tax extenders into 
tax extenders and tax raisers.
  I want each of my colleagues to think about that for a minute. The 
bill before us proposes permanent tax increases and just 1 year of tax 
relief. Unemployment is at 10 percent. Nearly 3 million Americans have 
lost their jobs since the start of the year. The economy is continuing 
to hemorrhage thousands of jobs every month. Small businesses continue 
to struggle as credit markets remain tight. And this proposes to raise 
taxes on economic investment.
  Just yesterday the President called for a Stimulus II package to help 
small businesses and to help start job creation. Part of that was to 
cut capital gains taxes on investments in small businesses, showing he 
understands the importance of capital to growing business and creating 
jobs.
  By contrast, this bill changes how carried interest has been treated 
for decades, and it is nothing short of a new tax on the very 
investments needed to start a new business and create economic growth 
in this country.
  So while Democrats claim they want to stimulate growth, they are 
actually increasing taxes in a way that will discourage job creation. 
And they left more than two dozen expiring tax relief provisions out of 
the bill, including the biggest of them all, the AMT patch.
  So in addition to the tax increases within this bill, there are, by 
omission, close to 30 tax increases that Americans will face next year 
because of the bill's shortcomings, including higher taxes for small 
businesses and approximately $2,600 in higher taxes for millions of 
middle class families.
  While some of those admissions might be justified, I'm disappointed 
that, once again, the Ways and Means Committee held neither a hearing 
nor a mark-up to consider legislation within our jurisdiction. Given 
the disconnect between House Democrats' rhetoric on jobs and their 
votes for tax increases, it is no wonder employers are confused. New 
investments aren't being made, and unemployment remains high. I support 
tax extenders, and that's what we should pass today, not this tax-
increasing, job-killing bill before us.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I 
might consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I guess Mr. Camp, who is my friend, wasn't referring to 
me when he talked about the Democrats who didn't like tax relief. They 
forgot about the idea that I was the lead sponsor on the net operating 
loss bill, and have supported accelerated depreciation allowance, and 
believe that there are some tax cuts, in fact, that are better than 
others. And, at the same time, I think we could all find unity in the 
suggestion today that one thing we've discovered is that tax cuts 
really don't pay for themselves.
  But I rise in support of this extenders legislation that we're 
considering today, and certainly Mr. Rangel should be acknowledged for 
the hard work that he has offered on this legislation. There ought to 
be an opportunity here for us, Mr. Speaker, to find some common ground. 
There are many, many, many good parts of this legislation that I know 
our friends on the other side support.
  There are provisions here in the bottom of the ninth inning, with two 
out, that are expiring; and we need to give some predictability to 
decisions that will be made by businesses and individuals over the 
course of the next year. And this is going to be the last chance that 
we're going to have to do it this year.
  This bill contains extensions of many popular incentives. For my home 
State of Massachusetts, this bill means that 94,000 teachers will get a 
deduction for their out-of-pocket expenses for classroom supplies, no 
small matter.

                              {time}  1345

  It means that more than 1,000 businesses in Massachusetts will get 
some credits for the millions they spend on research here in the United 
States. A reminder, the research and development tax credit is in this 
bill, and it is critical to retaining American jobs. Without this bill, 
125,000 families in Massachusetts cannot take the deduction for college 
tuition expenses. This legislation provides significant tax relief to 
millions of families nationwide both in red States, purple States, and 
blue States.
  There are 12 million families nationwide who live in States with no 
income tax; however, this bill does provide a State sales tax 
deduction.
  This bill also includes a number of popular tax incentives for 
alternative fuels. There are also packages of tax benefits to assist 
distressed communities and those hit by natural disasters. There are 
many well-crafted provisions in this bill. There's not really enough 
time to address all of them.
  This bill does no harm to the Federal budget. The cost of these cuts 
is completely offset by two revenue raisers, one of which I have 
offered and authored, and I know there is broad support across America 
for that issue. This is the Foreign Bank Account Reporting bill, which 
will shut down abuses by wealthy taxpayers hiding money in overseas 
banks.
  And for the life of me, I can't understand why everybody in this 
institution is not supportive of this measure. Transparency is 
important. 160,000 soldiers in Iraq, about to be 160,000 soldiers in 
Afghanistan, and we have taken our sweet time by not cracking down on 
these tax evaders who don't want to pay their fair share at the same 
time that we had these extensive commitments around the world. I'd like 
to poll that question in any congressional district in America. We have 
taken the comments of those who are impacted and we have made this 
reporting regime a workable enforcement tool in this legislation. 
Again, you should not be hiding money in foreign bank accounts for the 
sole purpose of avoiding American taxes.
  The second offset is a carry interest proposal which seeks to ensure 
investment managers pay taxes on their earnings as income tax rates 
rather than capital gains.
  Let me also suggest that Mr. Rangel has crafted a balanced bill. 
Again, I will repeat, it does no harm to the Federal Treasury. He has 
included a directive to the nonpartisan and, I think, highly effective 
and professional Joint Committee on Taxation to review the 
effectiveness of all of these extenders so that we could begin in 
earnest our effort to reform the Tax Code.
  I certainly am supportive of this measure. I hope it will find broad 
support across this institution.
  With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. CAMP. At this time, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished member 
of the Ways and Means Committee, the gentleman from California (Mr. 
Herger).
  Mr. HERGER. I thank my good friend from Michigan.
  Mr. Speaker, there is a long tradition of bipartisan support for 
extending these expiring tax relief provisions. I have personally been 
a strong supporter of the research and development tax credit, the 5-
year depreciation schedule for farm equipment, and tax-free charitable 
contributions from individual retirement accounts. That is why I'm very 
disappointed that the majority party has chosen to bypass the Ways and 
Means Committee and bring a partisan extenders bill to the floor.
  The bill before us raises taxes by nearly $25 billion at a time of 10 
percent unemployment. As our economy is struggling to recover, this tax 
increase directly targets hard-hit sectors like real estate. It simply 
does not make sense that at the same time we are talking about the need 
to create jobs, this House is voting for the second time in as many 
weeks to raise taxes for next year.
  H.R. 4213 also fails to extend the renewable energy credit for open-
loop biomass plants. That's very important to my northern California 
district. But the President and the Speaker heading overseas to talk 
about how we need more renewable energy, I can't imagine why we would 
pull the plug on successful biomass producers. Mr. Speaker, if we had 
moved this bill through the committee process, we could have fixed this 
oversight, and I hope we can address it in conference.
  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. Just before I recognize my friend from 
Michigan, I want to remind my friend from

[[Page H14399]]

California there are 320,000 teachers in his home State who will not 
get a tax benefit if this legislation does not pass, 571,000 families 
will not be able to deduct higher education costs, 1.2 million families 
will not be able to deduct home State sales taxes that they currently 
pay, and 4,000 businesses in a State that is so dependent upon high 
technology in California will not be able to get the credit for their 
crucial research and development costs.
  With that, I yield to my friend from Michigan (Mr. Levin) for 3 
minutes.
  (Mr. LEVIN asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. LEVIN. Let's be clear what's involved in the pay-fors: tax-haven 
legislation, also the issue of fairness.
  Those who invest their own money will continue to receive capital 
gains tax treatment, period. Those who manage other people's money will 
have to pay ordinary income tax like everybody else who performs 
services. There is widespread support for this.
  Gregory Mankiw, who was on President Bush's Council of Economic 
Advisors, said this: ``Deferred compensation, even risky compensation, 
is still compensation, and it should be taxed as such . . . When I 
wrote my book, that was sweat equity . . . I oppose different levels of 
taxation on different types of compensation.''
  This from a former member of President Reagan's Council of Economic 
Advisors, William Niskanen: ``The share of investment profits are 
basically fees for managing other people's money.''
  Also, another person who was deputy undersecretary under George H.W. 
Bush, Professor Michael Graetz: ``I think it's odd that people making 
that much money off of essentially labor income should be paying lower 
rates than, than the average . . . than their secretaries are, to put 
it baldly.''
  And then from the New York Times: ``They're actively managing assets, 
and should be taxed accordingly as managers earning compensation . . . 
Congress will achieve a significant victory, for fairness and for 
fiscal responsibility, if it ends the breaks that are skewing the Tax 
Code in favor of the most advantaged Americans.''
  And likewise, the Washington Post: ``But these fund managers, for the 
most part, are not risking their own money.'' And I insert to the 
extent they are, they get capital gains treatment. ``Besides, plenty of 
risky industries don't enjoy comparable tax benefits. Income earned 
from managing an investment partnership fund should be treated just 
like the income earned for providing any other service.''
  And I could quote this from William Stanfill, who's a manager of 
venture capital. He says, ``Many Americans invest sweat equity in their 
jobs and their businesses, take risks, contribute to the economy, and 
may have to wait a long time before their hard work pays off. But they 
still pay ordinary income tax rates on their compensation. To the 
extent we take risk, we take it with other people's money.''
  And that's why the statement of administration policy is very clear 
from the President. ``The legislation would fulfill the 
administration's commitment to crack down on overseas tax havens and 
put a stop to billions of dollars' worth of tax abuse and would end the 
special preferential treatment for carried interest income.''
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has again expired.
  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. I yield the gentleman an additional 30 
seconds.
  Mr. LEVIN. In terms of sparking economic growth, we need to have 
measures that target investment, not give a special break for those who 
perform services. For example, I have introduced a bill to eliminate 
capital gains on investments in certain small business stock for 2010. 
On investments. That's the issue here, that nobody blur it. Those who 
work with other people's money will pay ordinary income tax; those who 
invest their own money will continue to receive capital gains tax 
treatment.
  Mr. CAMP. At this time, Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
distinguished member of the Ways and Means Committee, the gentleman 
from Texas (Mr. Brady), who has been a leader in the effort to restore 
the local sales tax deduction.
  Mr. BRADY of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise and strongly oppose this 
bill.
  Encouraging research jobs on the one hand while killing local real 
estate and construction jobs on the other makes no economic sense. In 
making one of our most vulnerable sectors, commercial real estate, 
which faces the next real crisis in America, making that situation 
worse is going to kill jobs in this country. That type of thing is the 
reason that this new Congress and this White House has failed to get 
the American economy going.
  Let me explain. There are parts of this bill that all of us support, 
including cracking down on tax evaders but encouraging companies to 
keep research and development jobs; letting States, local taxpayers, 
write off the State and local sales taxes. And our State, I'm proud to 
say, we fought to restore this. It saves our taxpayers $1.2 billion a 
year, creates 22,000 jobs. That's fairness. In helping teachers write 
off, for example, their supplies they pay out of their pocket to help 
educate their students, we all agree on that. That's not the question.
  But what they do in this bill as well, they target some of our most 
basic companies at home. They say they're going after those Wall Street 
managers of your money, the ones who have their feet up on the desk who 
just shuffle money back and forth and make billions of dollars. That's 
what they say they're aiming at. What they're hitting is Main Street, 
our real estate partnerships. These are our local companies that build 
our office buildings, apartments, shopping centers, movie theaters, our 
industrial parks. There are no abuses in this. These are the people who 
create jobs at home.
  This bill increases their tax, almost triples their taxes, and these 
are people who put in sweat equity for 15 years, 20 years. Only if they 
get it right do they make a dollar back on all of their hard work. This 
is who they nearly triple the taxes on.
  These are the people, 1.2 million, traditional real estate 
partnerships, who will pay the price if this bill passes, because this 
makes no economic sense and damages jobs. That's why this bill is dead 
on arrival in the Senate, deader than a doornail, because with this 
economy, we ought to be creating jobs and not killing jobs.
  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, a reminder that there are 
303,000 people in the State of Texas who will not be able to deduct 
their higher education tuition costs. That is for the State of Texas a 
$690 million benefit.
  With that, I would yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from Vermont 
(Mr. Welch).
  Mr. WELCH. Mr. Speaker, we spend more on tax expenditures authorized 
by Congress and the Committee on Ways and Means than we do on the 
entire appropriations budget. It really matters. This is the third year 
I've served in Congress, the third year we've had tax extenders. And 
the question for many of us is the one that was raised by Chairman 
Rangel: Is it time to take a look at this, kick the tires of each one 
of these to see not just how it affects the particular beneficiary--
they always are in favor--but how it affects the overall economy for 
creating wealth in jobs and how it affects the burden of fairness that 
is our responsibility? So I applaud the chairman in his effort to do 
that.
  Mr. CAMP. At this time, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished 
gentleman from the Ways and Means Committee, the gentleman from 
Illinois (Mr. Roskam).
  Mr. ROSKAM. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  I think it's a sad argument, ironically, that the majority is using, 
and that is to kind of procedurally hold hostage, a group of teachers 
who are counting on predictability and clarity and forthrightness and 
transparency from this Congress, and now it is 21 days before a tax 
provision upon which they are going to rely is now dangling before 
them.
  And what this House is being told by the majority is either you vote 
for these teachers or you push them off, and these are your choices. Is 
that really as good as it gets? Is that really as robust a tax 
provision and a tax policy that we can come up with, to dangle a group 
of teachers out and sort of manipulate them on the House floor in terms 
of an argument and say, ``You're either for teachers or you're not''?

[[Page H14400]]

                              {time}  1400

  Well, I think the American public sees through that argument, Mr. 
Speaker. I think that the American public has a hope and an expectation 
that we are not going to get to this false trade; that is, that we are 
going to permanently increase taxes on job creators while offering 
temporary tax relief. That's a bad deal. That's a real bad deal all the 
way around.
  And it gets particularly difficult if you think about the extension 
of that logic: Are we going to have this same debate in the 2010 cycle 
when we're going to be dealing with tax rates, we're going to be 
talking about dividend rates, and we're going to be talking about 
individual rates? Are we going to be having this same permanent tax 
increase in exchange for temporary tax relief?
  Mr. Speaker, that's a bad deal. We ought to walk away from this. We 
ought to vote ``no'' and send this back to the committee where it 
belongs.
  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, since the gentleman was 
concerned that I was picking on teachers, let me raise this point. 
There are 2,274 businesses in his home State of Illinois that will not 
be able to get a credit for their crucial research and development 
costs, a $23 million benefit.
  And with that, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from North Carolina 
(Mr. Etheridge).
  (Mr. ETHERIDGE asked and was given permission to revise and extend 
his remarks.)
  Mr. ETHERIDGE. I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I thank Mr. 
Rangel for his hard work on this legislation. I support the bill. The 
Tax Extenders Act of 2009 reduces taxes by more than $30 billion for 
individuals and businesses to support small businesses and fuel job 
growth.
  To help create high-tech jobs and support American competitiveness, 
H.R. 4213 extends the R&D tax credit. North Carolina's growth has been 
supported by technology and the health and energy industries. The R&D 
tax credit is vital to this sector of the economy, a sector that spurs 
innovation and creates new jobs all across America.
  H.R. 4213 extends the accelerated cost recovery credit for restaurant 
and retail improvements, and incentivizes more businesses to grow, 
retool, modernize, and expand their facilities. To help struggling 
communities, the bill extends incentives like the new markets tax 
credits and tax incentives for businesses in designated Empowerment 
Zones. These provisions are more important than ever. As we help 
businesses grow, we help grow our workforce and strengthen our economy.
  Education is the key to the future for both our young people and 
those who are retraining for new jobs. The bill protects tuition 
deductions to help make more students afford school. For individuals, 
it also extends the deductions for State and local taxes, and property 
taxes, while also preserving $7 billion in deductions that encourage 
charitable giving.
  I also am pleased to know that this bill extends tax credits for 
teachers. Even though they are often underpaid, many teachers use their 
own money. I happen to know. I was a State superintendent of schools in 
North Carolina for 8 years and worked with this tax credit. I thank the 
committee for putting it in and keeping it in. It's unfair to ask them 
to continue year after year to pay. I thank you for doing it. This is a 
tax credit that helps them contribute to the success of future 
generations.
  I support this legislation and encourage its passage.
  Mr. CAMP. I yield myself such time as I may consume, and I think the 
point that we're trying to make on the floor here is that this is a 
false choice: Either you're for teachers or you're for the research and 
development tax credit, or you're against it. And the false choice is: 
Do we really have to raise taxes on job creators in order to get the 
extension of the research and development tax credit temporarily? Do we 
have to have this permanent tax increase that, frankly, will make us 
one of the highest-taxed countries in the world on this sort of 
investment tax? And I think that's a false choice being presented 
today.
  And with that, I yield to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Roskam).
  Mr. ROSKAM. I thank the gentleman. I want to thank the gentleman from 
Massachusetts for highlighting the research and development elements of 
my home State. And I guess my reply is that simply casting a wider net 
and grabbing more procedural hostages, I don't find it persuasive, 
because I think the false premise that is the basis of this bill is the 
permanence versus temporary argument; in other words, that the tax 
hikes that are being articulated are going to be permanent tax hikes. 
The tax relief that is being used, Mr. Speaker, to really sell the bill 
are going to be temporary tax relief.
  I find it ironic that here we have had a jobs summit at the White 
House with the congressional leadership and obviously the President, 
and so much consternation that we all share about what? About the 
unpredictability of our economy.
  This is an opportunity, I think, for us to come together on the 
research and development tax credit, for example, and cast a larger 
vision, and to say for R&D to make great strides in this country, there 
has to be a sense of predictability to it. We can't keep it on a short 
leash of 12 months. That's too short of a cycle. The accountants in 
these firms are going to be saying, Look, you can't rely on the 
Congress necessarily to come through.
  So I think that is ultimately the argument that I'm making. I think 
we have a false choice, as Mr. Camp said. I think we can do better, and 
I would hope that we did. But I appreciate the gentleman from 
Massachusetts highlighting the State of Illinois.
  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. Just reminding him of those numbers. I 
yield myself as much time as I might consume.
  In response to my friend's, Mr. Roskam's, argument here about these 
tax proposals being made permanent, I don't understand how the other 
side could have been witness to borrowing billions and billions of 
dollars for Iraq and not having had the courage to speak to the issue 
of transparency and allowing the American people to see what Iraq was 
going to cost.
  In addition, remember, they talk about fiscal responsibility? They 
cut taxes six times while committing 160,000 soldiers to Iraq. On 
January 19 of 2001, they inherited an almost perfect economic picture: 
unparalleled economic growth, the deficits had been paid off, the debt 
was coming down. And do you know what? To show you my bipartisan 
position here, let's give Bush I some credit for that, having had the 
courage to do it, and Clinton twice. It was the recklessness that the 
other side embraced that now we have to pay for.
  And this bill today, as unpalatable as some of them might argue that 
it is, it's paid for. We square this issue with the American people. 
This legislation is paid for.
  Mr. CAMP. At this time, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Texas 
(Mr. Brady).
  Mr. BRADY of Texas. I would point out, Mr. Speaker, that when 
Republicans lost control of Congress, the deficit was $160 billion, too 
high. Today, just 2\1/2\ years later, it is nearly nine times that 
high. It is greater than all the deficits in 1 year and all the 
deficits under President Bush. We are on an unsustainable path where 
our children and grandchildren will never be able to afford what is 
being spent today.
  And I will remind, too, my friend from Massachusetts that when 
Democrats took that gavel, Speaker Pelosi pledged she would pay every 
dime of our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Nearly 3 years later, they 
haven't paid for a dime of those wars.
  Let me make a point here. The reason I think Congress' approval 
ratings are lower than Bernie Madoff's is that we keep pitting 
Americans against other Americans. In this case, we keep pitting 
teachers and research workers and local taxpayers, you hear the 
numbers, against our local real estate workers and our local 
construction workers. This bill will seriously damage our ability to 
create jobs and raise property values at the local level. Our real 
estate partners, the real target of this bill, the real losers in this 
bill, these are average people who build our local facilities, who 
create construction jobs, who are the backbone of our economy. And in 
this case, they will have their taxes nearly tripled. It will

[[Page H14401]]

result in lower property values and fewer jobs at home.
  What it really does is it punishes people who put in sweat equity and 
work for decades to bring it about. And it forces them to go to the 
bank and take debt, to seek capital at a time when there is no bank and 
no lending available. So we have taken one of the toughest parts of our 
economy, commercial real estate, and punished them. It is a false 
choice, as the gentleman from Michigan has said. It's the wrong choice. 
This is a bad deal.
  Mr. CAMP. I just want to comment, too, on this perfect economic 
picture you said occurred in 2001. As we all know, the bubble burst in 
2000. So that history is not quite accurate. I just want to correct 
that for the record.
  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. Let me yield 2 minutes to the very 
important member of the Ways and Means Committee, the gentlewoman from 
Nevada (Ms. Berkley).
  Ms. BERKLEY. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman, who is doing a 
remarkably good job, in spite of all the misinformation on the other 
side, of moving this bill along.
  I rise in support of this legislation to extend expiring tax 
provisions. It is very important that Congress pass this bill this 
year.
  Allowing these provisions to expire would amount to a tax increase at 
a most challenging economic time for our Nation's businesses and 
families. Waiting to enact an extension retroactively would add to the 
already uncertain business climate and make tax planning all the more 
difficult for companies and individuals that depend on these tax 
credits.
  The bill extends necessary tax relief to parents and teachers, 
college students, homeowners, small businesses, and millions of other 
middle-income families. This legislation is needed in my State for so 
many critical things. It ensures that Nevada residents who do not pay a 
State income tax can continue to deduct their sales and State tax from 
their Federal income tax. For Nevada college students, most of whom 
come from middle-income families, deduction of their tuition makes the 
difference between going to college and not going to college.
  The bill extends a few alternative and renewable energy tax credits, 
so critical at this particular time, such as the tax incentive for 
natural gas and propane used as a fuel in transportation vehicles. 
These important provisions will help increase clean energy production 
and consumption.
  When it comes to the State of Nevada, and all politics is local, I 
would like to tell the other side how important this is to the people I 
represent. This is not a joke, and this is not using these people. This 
is providing tax relief for millions and millions of people across the 
country and hundreds of thousands of Nevadans.
  Over 23,000 teachers in my home State will not get a tax benefit for 
purchasing school supplies out-of-pocket if we don't pass this.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. I yield the gentlewoman 30 additional 
seconds.
  Ms. BERKLEY. Over 32,000 families in my State will not be able to 
deduct their higher education tuition costs, and 346,000 Nevada 
families in my State will not be able to deduct the State sales tax 
that they pay. This would be a loss of a $574 million benefit for the 
State of Nevada. And 141 businesses in my State will not be able to get 
a credit for their crucial research and development costs.
  I submit to you, Mr. Speaker, this is an important piece of 
legislation. It is timely. We need to pass it now.
  Mr. CAMP. I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  What we're being offered here is temporary tax relief for 1 year paid 
for with permanent tax increases. And I would just say that while the 
majority disingenuously portrays this provision as targeting only rich 
Wall Street financiers, it actually goes well beyond that, affecting 
investments and transactions along Main Street as well. This extremely 
broad provision applies not only to private equity firms and hedge 
funds, but also to real estate partnerships that invest in every 
congressional district and venture capital funds that help finance 
start-up, high-tech and biotechnology investments all across America.
  This provision would have far-reaching consequences on the returns of 
the pension funds, university endowments, and philanthropic foundations 
that invest in these partnerships that are targeted by the majority.
  Let me just, for the record, say that in CQ there is a quote from 
Chairman Baucus on the Senate side that said the House on Wednesday 
will take up a roughly $31 billion bill extending dozens of provisions 
expiring December 31. The major offset for the package, raising $24.6 
billion through taxing investment on partners income for managerial 
services as regular income rather than capital gains, is unlikely to 
survive in the Senate.

                              {time}  1415

  Again, we are moving forward on a funding mechanism that is permanent 
for 1 year of tax relief, and it is something that the Senate will not 
take up. To go on further, he says the provision passed the House twice 
in the 110th Congress but went nowhere in the Senate where Democratic 
leaders deemed it too contentious. Earlier this year, Baucus said he 
did not want to spook shaky financial markets by using the measure as 
an offset.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, might I inquire as to how 
much time remains on both sides.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The majority has 12\3/4\ minutes and the 
minority has 16\1/2\ minutes.
  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. Just before I recognize the gentleman from 
Illinois (Mr. Davis), I hope that my friend Mr. Camp will have a 
chance--he spoke to one provision of the pay-for. Maybe he will speak 
to the issue of tax evasion as to whether or not he supports the $8 
billion that's being raised in this legislation to pay for this bill.
  With that, I would like to recognize the gentleman from Illinois, my 
friend, Mr. Davis, for 2 minutes.
  (Mr. DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to revise and 
extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Let me first of all thank the gentleman from 
Massachusetts for yielding.
  I rise in strong support of H.R. 4213, the Tax Extenders Act of 2009. 
There are multiple provisions within this bill that are needed by 
individuals, businesses as well as State and local governments. This 
bill is good for Chicago, it's good for the State of Illinois and, 
indeed, it is good for the Nation.
  This bill helps individuals with the cost of education, both for 
teachers who pay out of pocket for supplies and for students who pay 
for tuition and books. It helps families cover the cost of property 
taxes and sales taxes. It helps business invest in research and 
development, equipment, maintenance and certain capital improvements.
  It promotes charitable giving of food, equipment and inventory. This 
bill also supports critical community assistance programs. It 
encourages empowerment zones and renewal communities in economically 
depressed areas. It supports areas that experienced natural disasters, 
such as the gulf coast and the Midwest.
  The Chicago Reporter, a newspaper that does an outstanding job, found 
that the west and south sides of Chicago have unemployment rates of 
over 20 percent. It is obvious to me that the city of Chicago, the 
State of Illinois, and, indeed, the Nation, need this bill. I am proud 
to support it.
  Mr. CAMP. At this time I am prepared to close if the gentleman has no 
further speakers.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, we are trying to just assess 
how much time is here, if you will give me a second.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize the gentleman from Michigan 
(Mr. Levin) for 3 minutes.
  (Mr. LEVIN asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. LEVIN. I think it's important that we look at the facts here. The 
gentleman from Texas and others have raised issues regarding real 
estate. These are the figures that have been compiled by our staff 
based on IRS data. That less than 10 percent of all of the income 
earned in real estate construction and development is earned by 
partnerships that might be involved here, that less than 5 percent of 
all

[[Page H14402]]

wages earned by employees in real estate construction and real estate 
development are earned by employees of partnerships.
  Ninety percent of the income earned in real estate construction and 
real estate development is earned by C corporations or S corporations. 
Let me just say, in terms of corporations that are involved in real 
estate, when they give stock options, when those are exercised, and 
these are the vast majority of cases, the people who exercised the 
stock option pay ordinary income tax.
  Essentially, you have here an argument undercutting the basic 
proposition. That is that those who invest their own money get capital 
gains treatment and those who provide services, in whatever 
circumstances, they pay ordinary income tax.
  Also let me just mention that the President has suggested some 
specific provisions that will encourage investment. There is a basic 
structure in question here, a basic structure. When people invest their 
own money, they should pay capital gains tax on the profits. When they 
perform services managing other people's money, like everybody else who 
performs services, should they not pay ordinary income tax as does the 
waitress, no money except a small amount of minimum wage, and not even 
that, perhaps, if there are no tips; and the author, if the books 
aren't sold, then they don't get anything.
  What is being proposed here, as I said earlier, is what has been 
suggested by economists, whether they are conservative, moderate, 
liberal, whatever you want to call them, and by various other sources. 
That there is a basic issue here. This legislation is an effort to 
address that basic issue and to pay for the tax extenders. In previous 
years, in so many cases, you have passed legislation without paying for 
it and the debt goes up and up.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. I yield the gentleman an additional 15 
seconds.
  Mr. LEVIN. What we are suggesting here is fiscal responsibility. 
Don't dig the hole deeper and deeper. Step up and pay for it, and pay 
for it by making the Tax Code equitable for all of the citizens of the 
United States of America.
  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. I would like to yield to the gentlewoman 
from the Virgin Islands (Mrs. Christensen) for the purpose of a 
unanimous consent request.
  (Mrs. CHRISTENSEN asked and was given permission to revise and extend 
her remarks.)
  Mrs. CHRISTENSEN. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of HR 4213, the Tax Extenders of 2009 
Act which contains the crucial extension of the rum cover-over program 
to the American Caribbean territories. The annual extension, which 
raises at least $20 million for the Virgin Islands for infrastructure 
development, is a vital component of our economic development 
strategies for continued growth and self sufficiency. In 1954, Congress 
extended the equalization cover-over provision to the Virgin Islands to 
foster greater fiscal autonomy and in 1983 and 2000, it enacted laws 
which vested the Legislature of the Virgin Islands with sole authority 
to determine how rum cover-over revenues should be utilized.
  Recently, that authority has been challenged by legislation that 
would tie the hands of our local territorial governments in regards to 
determining how best to utilize those funds. The government and people 
of the Virgin Islands commend the early foresight of the Congress and 
reserve the right to determine what is in the best interest of our 
community.
  Madame Speaker, Congress designed the rum cover-over program to 
create economic stability for its territories in the Caribbean, to 
include the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Over the years, each 
has benefited from this program and hopes to continue to do so in the 
future. If one territory believes that they no longer need or require 
this benefit, I am here today to tell you, that the people of the 
Virgin Islands are grateful for the continued opportunity to have this 
funding and to determine how best it can be utilized for their ultimate 
benefit.
  In the present global economic development environment, the U.S. 
Virgin Islands has moved to stabilize this industry on its shore, 
guaranteeing revenue and jobs for Americans, securing our retirement 
system and repairing schools while at the same time working to clean up 
environmental issues associated with the rum industry.
  The Congress support of today's rum revenue extenders and indeed the 
entire rum cover program is crucial to the economic future of the 
territories and today, I, along with the people of the U.S. Virgin 
Islands thank Chairman Rangel, the leadership of the House and my 
colleagues on both sides of the aisle for your continued support.
  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 2 minutes.
  There is an opportunity here today to begin the discussion of 
fundamental tax reform. If we could move past the ideology that is so 
rigid, where we can only discuss cuts and never revenue or, on the 
other side, only revenue and never cuts, then we could move this debate 
and discussion forward.
  Now, the other side today, they are suggesting to the American 
people, we like the R&D tax credit. We like teachers. We like tuition 
assistance, and what we are saying on this side is we like all of those 
institutions as well, but we think they should be paid for. Sometimes 
you have to eat the broccoli before you have your dessert.
  Tax reform is an opportunity. I hope that the strategy that got us 
into this difficulty--remember the old argument here that tax cuts pay 
for themselves? You couldn't even get our friend who ran for President 
on the Republican ticket last year to have his top economic adviser say 
that was true. That's part of the problem here, being married to rigid 
ideology as opposed to common solutions that might make this work for 
the American people.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. CAMP. At this time I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished member 
of the Ways and Means Committee, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Brady).
  Mr. BRADY of Texas. Mr. Speaker, well, there is no question we all 
support extending the Republican State and local sales tax deduction 
put in place, restored by a Republican Congress.
  I am pleased to extend the teachers' classroom supply deduction, 
again, something created and fostered under a Republican Congress, the 
same with the renewable energy credits, much of which expanded under a 
Republican Congress. But make no mistake, this isn't about paying for 
these issues.
  This Congress, this White House is paying for nothing these days; 
$700 billion, $800 billion stimulus bill, not a dime paid for. All the 
new spending, TARP II, second part of the bailout, not a dime paid for.
  Two weeks ago they pass out this bill, a quarter of a trillion 
dollars out of this House, to help doctors with their Medicare 
reimbursements. Guess how much is paid for? Not a dime, zero. This new 
fiscal responsibility, while we appreciate it, you shouldn't achieve it 
by raising taxes and punishing our local real estate and construction 
people.
  I do take exception. We were told today, well, don't worry about it. 
It's only 10 percent of our local real estate and construction jobs, 
only 10 percent. Well, that's $4.5 trillion of local and real estate 
investment along Main Street America.
  Here, I guess they think we can just sacrifice one out of every 10 
local construction jobs. We will just sacrifice one out of every 10 
local real estate jobs. That's just collateral damage up here.
  It's real damage back home. Picking winners and losers, rewarding 
those, our teachers, our research workers, those who are sending their 
kids to college, and taking away jobs from Main Street America in real 
estate, construction from those who build our communities is a false 
choice.
  The gentleman from Michigan is correct: this is a false choice that 
damages our economy, that's dead on arrival in the Senate, as it should 
be. We ought to be working together finding a way to help people, not 
picking winners and damaging jobs in America today. No wonder we face 
10 percent unemployment.
  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. My friend from Texas conveniently left out 
TARP I, which was a Bush initiative; conveniently left out the cost of 
the Iraq war, which was borrowed money; and conveniently left out the 
Bush tax cuts, which cost $2.3 trillion that only went to people at the 
very top of the economic strata of America.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. CAMP. To close, Mr. Speaker, the American people don't need to be 
reminded of the dire economic situation we face today. The American 
people know unemployment at 10 percent

[[Page H14403]]

remains far too high. They know it's tough to make ends meet without 
having to pay higher taxes. They know higher taxes on investment, on 
business investment, won't create jobs. In fact, it will hurt job 
creation.
  The American people need not be reminded of those things, but 
apparently the majority does. Nearly 3 million Americans have lost 
their jobs since the Democrats enacted their so-called stimulus bill. 
Unemployment is 25 percent higher than the administration promised, and 
yet the bill before us proposes to add a new $24.6 billion tax on 
business investment.
  Now, frankly, I wish we could end this year-end process we go 
through, and I know the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee gave 
an interview yesterday where he suggested a way out of this year-end 
extenders process we find ourselves in. I look forward to working with 
the chairman to try to find a solution to this problem.
  The bottom line is the decision we are faced with today means we 
should be encouraging business investment, not discouraging it through 
higher taxes. I would just say to my friend that our motion to recommit 
would not repeal the international banking disclosure provisions.
  In fact, Republicans share the majority's concern about the illegal 
use of offshore accounts to evade U.S. taxes. Tax evasion is a Federal 
crime and individuals who break the law by illegally hiding their 
income in offshore accounts and any financial institutions that 
facilitate that tax evasion should be aggressively pursued and punished 
to the fullest extent of the law.
  If loopholes exist in law that allow tax cheats to illegally hide 
assets offshore, obviously Republicans stand ready to help close those 
loopholes in an appropriate way. As I said, our motion to recommit 
would retain the language in the majority's bill on that provision.
  Again, these extensions of tax relief, which in many cases are 
policies Republicans passed and voted for when we were in the majority, 
they are helpful, and they are important to do, but they are temporary. 
They last 1 year. In order to get that done, the majority would 
increase taxes on economic investment.
  Let's just be clear about this. It changes how business income has 
been taxed for decades, making it so that income that is currently 
taxed at a rate of 15 percent would be taxed at 35 percent, more than 
doubling that tax in an economic recession. It places one of the 
highest taxes on investment found anywhere in the world, and its reach 
and scope will increase taxes on everyone from the largest investors to 
the local real estate partnerships, again, permanent tax increases for 
1 year of tax relief. With that, I would urge my colleagues to oppose 
this legislation.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, at this time I would like to 
yield the balance of my time to the chairman of the Ways and Means 
Committee, my friend, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Rangel).

                              {time}  1430

  Mr. RANGEL. Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairman Neal for the fantastic job 
he has done, along with my good friend Mr. Levin, for presenting the 
position of the Ways and Means Committee, which, Republican or 
Democrat, we are so proud to be a part of.
  We have produced for this Congress $30 billion of benefits to the 
American people. Some may be critical because it's only for 1 year, but 
I think we have made it abundantly clear that because we are on the 
brink of reform of the entire system, as Mr. Levin said, we've got to 
study this to evaluate how we can better serve our teachers, our State 
and local governments in order to make certain that the things that 
everybody here is in support of can be made permanent so that they can 
plan and understand exactly where this Congress is coming from for the 
people of the United States.
  It's interesting to note that the opposition to this bill, nobody has 
criticized any of the benefits that are in this extender bill. Let me 
say this again. This is a very, very unique thing that would happen in 
the Halls of Congress. The bill that we are presenting and asking for 
an affirmative vote, H.R. 4213, there is no criticism of any provisions 
of the benefits that are in this legislation. I'm going to rest for a 
moment and let that sink in.
  The opposition to this bill, it appears to me from listening to the 
responses from my Republican friends, is that their problem is that we 
don't want to increase the deficit. Their problem is they just don't 
like the way we are indeed closing the loopholes. When we say, We're 
closing loopholes, they say, You are raising taxes. You bet your life 
we are. We are getting the resources that America deserves by fairness 
and equities in the tax system. There's no way to clean up the tax 
system without making those who should be paying taxes to pay it.
  So if indeed you have some criticism of the loopholes that we're 
closing, let's take a look at the loopholes. That sounds fair, because 
my friends have not been talking about the benefits in these bills. My 
friends on the other side are talking about taxes. If you want to make 
this a case of forgetting all of these good people that deserve and 
relied on the extension and make this a tax reform argument--which I 
really think should be at another time and another place. I really 
think that tax reform really deserves the study, the research, and the 
debate so at the end of the day we don't have a Democratic tax bill. 
This country deserves a bipartisan tax bill, because there's going to 
be pain in it; because every time we try to bring equity into it, if 
the other side is to say I don't have any tax reform, but you're 
raising taxes by cutting away a lot of benefits that we say people 
don't deserve, and you say that we're increasing taxes.
  Well, let's talk about it. A part of this good bill is being funded 
so that we don't have a deficit by making certain that, during this 
time of war, American taxpayers don't avoid their fair share of taxes 
and they get together in an unpatriotic way and pick foreign countries 
to determine how they can avoid American taxes and pick foreign 
countries to invest in and put foreign countries that really are not 
concerned with our need for jobs and equity but they're concerned with 
greed for their stockholders and corporations. Did one Republican get 
up and say this is a good thing? And I would yield to anyone on the 
other side who wants to say it is not a good thing to go after these 
people who are taking advantage of our law.
  So we can't reform it all at one time, but we can knock out these 
things where people are taking unfair advantage of our Tax Code.
  The other issue, which made me think in listening to the response to 
this extender bill where hardly anyone talked about the benefits, 
seemed to be centered around some tax provision that is commonly 
referred to as carried interest. It seems as though the minority is 
saying that there's a certain group of people that do work and they're 
entitled to get compensation for their work.
  For those who think this is a complicated issue, it is not. It means 
that we really think as a body that those people who take outstanding 
risk, who are not employees but are adventurous, creative people, that 
they be given 15 percent, a lower tax rate than 35 percent. And we're 
saying that those people who put capital in, who work in order to 
develop jobs in whatever they want to develop, if their money is in, 
they should get a 15 percent tax cut because they took risks. Anybody 
who doesn't put money in here that becomes a partnership and acts like 
they're taking risk should not be able to enjoy this benefit.
  So I do hope that you consider the weight of the debate and then vote 
accordingly.
  Mr. HIMES. Mr. Speaker, I rise to express my serious concern 
regarding the revenue provisions of H.R. 4213, The Tax Extenders Act of 
2009, specifically the provision affecting the treatment of ``carried 
interest'' in our tax code. I believe this provision, as currently 
worded, does not represent an optimal solution to the underlying 
challenge of fairly and appropriately taxing investment management 
professionals.
  My concerns are tempered by my enthusiastic support for many of the 
provisions in the bill as a whole, which would provide individuals and 
businesses with approximately $31 billion in tax relief in 2009. As 
families and businesses in my district struggle to make ends meet, 
these provisions will provide swift and cost-effective support to 
research and development, to alternative fuels, and to the ability of 
U.S. companies to serve customers in foreign markets.

[[Page H14404]]

  My concerns with the legislation rest with the changes it would make 
to the tax treatment of ``carried interest'' on investment managers.
  Current law treats carried interest the same as all other profits 
derived from a partnership and thus characterizes carried interest as 
being derived from an interest in the partnership's capital. In a 
broad-brush fashion, the legislation would transform these capital 
gains into ordinary income for tax purposes, a change that would 
increase taxes on carried interest income from the current 15 percent 
capital gains rate to as much as 35 percent beginning next year. It 
should be noted that this date is a good deal more aggressive than a 
similar provision in President Obama's budget, which in the interest of 
economic recovery would start taxing carried interest as regular income 
only in 2011.
  While I respect the view that in some cases carried interest 
represents a form of compensation for services provided by the general 
partner, this distinction is far from clear in every case. 
Professionals in this industry should be taxed fairly and 
appropriately, but I disagree that the only way to achieve this goal is 
to apply one of two pre-existing categories to their services.
  Industry analysts generally base their characterization of carried 
interest upon the degree to which a general partner's own assets are at 
risk and differences in the profit interest of the general and limited 
partners. Many observers, such as Professor Victor Fleischer of the 
University of Colorado School of Law, argue with sound legal 
justification that these professionals should be taxed somewhere 
between that of pure capital and pure ordinary income.
  Given the widespread reliance of partnerships on these rules, I 
believe we in Congress must be more cautious in enacting such a 
significant change in the rules at this juncture. Such a reformulation 
at the least deserves a greater hearing of views in a full and 
deliberate committee process.
  Our venture capitalists risk significant quantities of time, money, 
and effort to assist the most compelling business models to improve the 
way that Americans live and work. Before we enact changes to our tax 
system which could threaten existing incentives to innovation and 
investment, I believe such changes deserve the fullest possible 
consideration to arrive at the most practical and fair solution.
  I am hopeful that the underlying legislation will undergo revisions 
to its revenue-raising provisions which enable me to support it. Given 
the concerns voiced above, however, I regret that I am unable to cast 
my vote in support of the bill as it stands.
  Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to show my support 
for H.R. 4213, the Tax Extenders Package that includes several critical 
extensions important to Texas.
  The package will extend through 2010 the $1 per gallon credit for 
producing biodiesel and the $1 per gallon credit for producing diesel 
from biomass, which is especially important to my district as it is 
home to the struggling biodiesel industry.
  Texas is the leading producer of biodiesel in the nation. The 
industry supported up to 8,600 jobs in the State and over 50,000 jobs 
in the U.S. in the past year. It is both fiscally and environmentally 
responsible to extend these tax credits and to promote the development 
of biodiesel here at home.
  The biodiesel excise tax credit enables biodiesel to remain price 
competitive with conventional diesel. Without the prompt extension of 
the tax credits before they expire on December 31, 2009, we risk 
reducing the domestic production of low carbon, renewable energy 
sources that help our nation to significantly reduce carbon emissions, 
as well as our dependence on foreign oil.
  The biodiesel industry has already been forced to close several 
plants and is operating at about 20 percent capacity due in large part 
to the weak economy. A retroactive extension of the credit after 
December 31, 2009 could further exacerbate the industry's job losses, 
and place this important industry in a precarious position.
  I appreciate the bipartisan support of the following Texas members 
who recently joined me in sending a letter to House Leadership 
supporting the biodiesel tax extension: Al Green, Chet Edwards, 
Silvestre Reyes, Solomon Ortiz, Ruben Hinojosa, Henry Cuellar, Ciro 
Rodriguez, Charlie Gonzalez, and Joe Barton. This support exemplifies 
the importance of protecting the biodiesel industry for the nation and 
for Texans.
  It is imperative that we move forward expeditiously to extend the 
biodiesel and renewable diesel excise tax credits to protect American 
jobs and to help our nation move towards a clean energy future.
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, today the House of Representatives is 
considering H.R. 4213, the Tax Extenders Act of 2009. I wish to express 
my support for this legislation, which would continue a number of 
expiring provisions of the U.S. tax code that are important to the 
people and businesses I am privileged to represent in rural Missouri. 
Without Congressional action, these tax cuts will expire on December 
31st.
  For Missouri families, H.R. 4213 would provide important tax relief. 
The measure would extend deductions for state and local sales and 
property taxes and for college tuition. It would extend a special 
deduction for teachers and other school professionals who use personal 
funds to buy school supplies for their classrooms. And, the legislation 
would take steps to ensure activated military reservists do not suffer 
a pay reduction by providing a tax credit for small businesses that 
continue to pay National Guard and Reserve employees when they are 
called to active duty.
  For Missouri farmers, H.R. 4213 would extend the five-year 
depreciation for farming machinery and equipment, would extend the 
charitable tax deduction for donated food, and would extend the tax 
deduction for donating conservation easements. H.R. 4213 would also 
extend critical tax incentives for biodiesel and renewable diesel fuel. 
The biodiesel tax credit is very important to the development and 
sustainability of America's renewable fuel industry and is particularly 
beneficial to biodiesel facilities, like Prairie Pride, located in 
Missouri's Fourth Congressional District.
  For Missouri businesses, H.R. 4213 would extend the research and 
development (R&D) tax credit that encourages financial investment and 
job creation in America's high tech sector. The legislation would also 
strengthen the ability of American companies to serve customers 
overseas, would extend benefits for investments in economically 
distressed areas of our country, and would extend the 15-year cost 
recovery for qualified improvements to restaurants and retail space. 
H.R. 4213 would also extend a low-income housing tax credit exchange 
program that has invested more than $3.7 billion in the construction of 
over 49,000 low-income housing units.
  H.R. 4213 would extend other valuable provisions of the U.S. tax 
code, including deductions for charitable contributions by individuals 
and businesses. And, to ensure the legislation does not add to the 
deficit, the $31 billion cost of this legislation is offset by cracking 
down on tax evaders who hide their assets in offshore tax havens and 
ending special tax treatment for hedge fund and investment bank 
managers.
  I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 4213 so that we can provide tax 
relief and economic certainty to families and businesses in 2010.
  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the Tax 
Extenders Act of 2009. This legislation will provide businesses and 
individuals with $31 billion in tax relief over the next year to 
continue creating jobs and strengthening our economy. It is on time, 
fully paid for and deserves this chamber's support.
  The R&D Tax Credit extension in this bill will enhance the 
competitiveness of nearly 11,000 corporations driving innovation in the 
global marketplace. The above-the-line deductions for school supplies 
and qualified tuition expenses will continue to support our teachers 
and students' education. The IRA Charitable Rollover and Conservation 
Easement provisions maintain important incentives for critical work in 
our non-profit sector. And the clean energy credits move us towards the 
energy independence, reliability and efficiency we know we must embrace 
in the 21st century.
  This is an important bill, strongly supported by the Obama 
Administration. For that reason, I urge our colleagues in the Senate to 
act expeditiously on H.R. 4213 so that the President can sign extenders 
legislation into law this year. I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. KIND. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 4213, 
the Tax Extenders Act of 2009. This bill extends several badly needed 
tax provisions that will continue to provide economic benefits to 
struggling families and businesses. While these temporary, last-minute 
patches are not the preferred means of action for anyone, this action 
is better than none, and I urge my colleagues to support it.
  Passage of this bill will ensure that individuals already facing the 
worst economic situation in decades will retain the ability to deduct 
state and local taxes, preventing a $3.3 billion tax increase. It also 
extends the deduction that students receive for tuition payments and 
the credit teachers receive for stocking their classrooms out of their 
own pocket. both are essential for making a quality education 
accessible to all.
  For businesses, this bill will extend the invaluable R&D tax credit 
so they can continue to invest in the innovation that will keep America 
competitive in the industries of today and tomorrow. I have long 
advocated making this credit permanent so companies can make it a 
permanent part of their business plans. I hope we will do that as part 
of overall tax reform starting next year.
  Other provisions important to my district in Western Wisconsin 
include the Conservation Easement Credit, which gives individuals an 
incentive to protect environmentally important

[[Page H14405]]

land in perpetuity, and the extension of a 5-year depreciation period 
for farm and agricultural equipment. This extended period has been 
highly successful in spurring capital improvements on the farm and 
improving farm output and efficiency.
  Finally, I am particularly pleased that this bill extends a provision 
I authored last year that provides tax relief to families and 
businesses who are impacted by natural disasters. Following devastating 
floods in my district in 2007 and 2008, it became clear to me that more 
tools were needed to assist individuals and businesses to recover. The 
tax relief provided here offers a more systematic and fair method than 
the previous system of ad hoc assistance on a case-by-case basis. I 
thank Chairman Rangel and the rest of the committee for including it in 
the extenders package today.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to note that all of these benefits are 
completely paid for, meaning this bill will not add one dime to the 
deficit. In fact, one of the ways we pay for this bill is by cracking 
down on foreign bank accounts, where millionaires have been hiding 
their fortunes from the IRS for years. This type of enforcement has 
been sorely lacking. It is unfortunate, however, that the bulk of 
revenue for this bill will come from higher taxation of venture capital 
funds that have been leaders in spurring job growth and innovation. I 
sincerely wish we had been able to find an alternative revenue source 
that would not raise taxes on these entrepreneurs at the exact time 
when we need them the most. Twice before the Senate has rejected this 
pay-for, and I hope they will do so again.
  On balance, Mr. Speaker, this is a critically important piece of 
legislation before us that will prevent disastrous consequences in this 
fragile economic environment. I ask my colleagues to join me in 
supporting its passage today.
  Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 4213, the Tax 
Extenders Act of 2009. This bill provides $31 billion in tax relief to 
individuals, families, businesses and charitable organizations by 
extending over forty tax provisions that are set to expire at the end 
of 2009. These tax breaks are an important component to rebuilding the 
financial and economic strength of Rhode Islanders struggling in the 
wake of the worst recession in decades.
  H.R. 4213 contains more than $5 billion in individual tax relief and 
more than $17 billion in tax cuts for American businesses. To 
strengthen pocketbooks of families and inject demand into the economy, 
this measure extends property tax relief for up to 30 million 
homeowners. It helps 4.5 million families better afford college with 
tuition deductions and saves 3.4 million teachers money with a 
deduction for classroom expenses. This measure further extends the 
research and development tax credit for thousands of American 
corporations, encouraging businesses to increase investments in 
technology and create more high-tech jobs for the twenty-first century.
  Also included in this package is more than $7 billion in tax 
provisions that encourage charitable contributions, provide community 
development incentives, and support alternative energy investments.
  In tough economic times, it is important to enact tax policies that 
spur job creation and foster economic growth, innovation and 
opportunity. The annual extension of these tax cuts is an important 
step toward achieving that goal, and I look forward to working with my 
colleagues on more permanent solutions to simplify the Internal Revenue 
Code and ease the tax burden on millions of Americans.
  Mr. LARSON of Connecticut. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 
4213, the Tax Extenders Act of 2009, and applaud the leadership of 
Chairman Rangel and the Ways and Means Committee in crafting this bill. 
I commend the Chairman for the inclusion of the alternative fuel tax 
credit, which incentivizes individuals and businesses to purchase 
energy for vehicles that run on clean energy sources. This continues 
Congress' commitment to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. As long 
as we are exporting our dollars overseas in exchange for oil, our 
economic and national security are at risk.
  Natural gas is an abundant transition energy that is twice as clean 
as coal. While 69% of the oil consumed in America is for transportation 
(two-thirds of which we import from foreign nations), 98% of the 
natural gas we consume is produced in North America.
  The more than 100 years of natural gas reserves in the U.S. will 
provide thousands of domestic jobs that cannot be outsourced and will 
help keep taxpayer dollars in the U.S. Approximately 1.3 million 
Americans are directly employed by natural gas companies, and the 
entire U.S. natural gas industry supports nearly three million U.S. 
jobs, with the potential to add many more.
  Natural gas will play an increasing role in reducing U.S. carbon 
emissions, creating jobs, and enhancing U.S. security. I thank Chairman 
Rangel for extending the alternative fuel tax credit and for 
recognizing the importance of natural gas.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate has expired.
  Pursuant to House Resolution 955, the previous question is ordered on 
the bill.
  The question is on the engrossment and third reading of the bill.
  The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was

  Mr. CAMP (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent 
to dispense with the reading.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Michigan?
  There was no objection.


                             Point of Order

  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order that 
the motion before us is in violation of clause 10 of rule XXI of the 
rules of the House.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Does any Member wish to be heard on the 
point of order?
  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, I ask to be heard on the point of order.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Michigan.
  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, this point of order illustrates the dangers 
raised by the majority's PAYGO rule and its decision at the start of 
this Congress to prohibit us from offering motions to recommit that are 
not PAYGO compliant, something that all minorities, Republican and 
Democrat, over the last many years have been permitted to do in prior 
sessions, including as recently as last year.
  The majority has asserted the motion to recommit violates clause 10 
of rule XXI, known as the PAYGO rule, which requires amendments, 
including those contained in a motion to recommit, to be budget 
neutral.
  I submit, Mr. Speaker, that his point of order should be overturned 
because it precludes the House from considering the merits of a 
different approach to the underlying bill, one that would let the 
American people keep more of their hard-earned income.
  By contrast, granting the PAYGO point of order would prevent the 
House from considering whether to extend this tax relief, as it has 
done many times before, without offsets. We should be encouraging 
business investment, not discouraging it through higher taxes.
  Let's be clear. This carried interest tax of over $25 billion changes 
how business income has been taxed for decades, making income currently 
taxed at 15 percent up to 30 percent, more than doubling it.

[[Page H14406]]

  Mr. Speaker, granting this point of order would foreclose the House 
from even considering whether it might want to pass this bill with 
fewer offsets or further tax relief.
  Accordingly, I ask that you overrule the point of order and allow the 
House to debate and vote on our alternative, which would provide 
additional tax relief for families and small businesses without some of 
the most objectionable offsets found in the underlying bill.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Massachusetts makes a 
point of order that the amendment proposed in the instructions included 
in the motion to recommit offered by the gentleman from Michigan 
violates clause 10 of rule XXI by proposing a change in revenues that 
would increase the deficit.
  Pursuant to clause 10 of rule XXI, the Chair is authoritatively 
guided by estimates from the Committee on the Budget that the net 
effect of the provisions in the amendment affecting revenues would 
increase the deficit for a relevant period.
  Accordingly, the point of order is sustained and the motion is not in 
order.
  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, I appeal the ruling of the Chair.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is, Shall the decision of the 
Chair stand as the judgment of the House?


                            Motion to Table

  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I move to table the motion to 
appeal the ruling of the Chair.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to table.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 and clause 9 of rule 
XX, this 15-minute vote on the motion to table will be followed by 5-
minute votes on passage of the bill, if arising without further 
proceedings in recommittal, and suspending the rules with regard to 
H.R. 3603.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 251,
