                   RESTORING SMART TAX POLICY MATTERS

  (Mr. MORAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MORAN. Mr. Speaker, the tax and regulatory burdens on our 
businesses are crippling, and it is incumbent upon us to change that.
  Last night, Congress took a step in the right direction to do 
something positive to help businesses in this struggling economy. We 
came together to pass the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers 
Act. This bill will spur American innovation and competitiveness, will 
reinvigorate manufacturing jobs at home, and will restore Trump-era, 
business-friendly tax policies that spur economic growth.
  My east Texas businesses have been asking for a progrowth, projob, 
and pro-American tax package designed to revitalize our economy and 
provide relief to American small businesses. Last night, we provided 
such a package.
  Restoring smart tax policy matters. This bill extends the 2017 
Republican Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that has a proven track record of 
incentivizing U.S. investment, lifting families out of poverty, and 
allowing Americans to keep more of their paychecks.
  I stand with our small businesses, and I thank Chairman Smith for his 
diligent work on this thoughtful tax policy.
