                         Nomination of Ken Kies

  Mr. CRAPO. Mr. President, I rise today to urge my colleagues to vote 
in favor of the motion to invoke cloture on Mr. Ken Kies, who is 
nominated to serve as the Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy at the 
Treasury Department.
  The Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy is the senior adviser to the 
Secretary of the Treasury for analyzing, developing, and implementing 
Federal tax policies and programs.
  Mr. Kies is eminently qualified for this position. He has a total of 
47 years of experience as a tax attorney, covering every aspect of the 
Internal Revenue Code. Mr. Kies has also been involved in every 
significant piece of Federal tax legislation since 1981.
  If confirmed, Mr. Kies will be a valuable partner in our efforts to 
prevent a $4 trillion-plus tax hike on American families and businesses 
and to deliver additional tax relief for middle-class workers and 
families.

  I encourage my colleagues to join me in advancing his nomination.
