                               Tax Reform

  Mr. President, let me take a moment to turn briefly to a related 
topic. As some may know, the Senate Finance Committee has been working 
on comprehensive tax reform for the last 2 years. We have held more 
than 30 hearings and heard from hundreds of experts on how tax reform 
can simplify the system for families, spark economic growth, create 
jobs, and make U.S. businesses more competitive.
  Last Thursday I teamed with House Ways and Means Committee Chairman 
Dave Camp to launch a Web site to get even more input directly from the 
American people. We launched taxreform.gov to give folks in Montana, in 
Michigan, and all across America an opportunity to weigh in on tax 
reform. Since the launch of the site less than a week ago, we have 
received thousands of ideas directly from the American people on how to 
improve the Code.
  I want to thank all those who have shared their ideas and opinions, 
and I encourage more people to log on to taxreform.gov to let us know 
what they think of the Nation's tax system and what it should look 
like.
