                       I. SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND


                         A. Purpose and Summary

    H.R. 765, reported by the Committee on Ways and Means, 
provides a 15-year recovery period for qualified leasehold 
improvement property, qualified restaurant property, and 
qualified retail improvement property. Similar temporary 
provisions applied for the past 10 years, but expired for 
property placed in service after December 31, 2014, causing 
these improvements to be depreciable over 39 years. Under H.R. 
765, the 15-year recovery period will permanently apply for 
qualified property placed in service after 2014.

                 B. Background and Need for Legislation

    While the Committee continues actively to pursue 
comprehensive tax reform as a critical means of promoting 
economic growth and job creation, the Committee also believes 
that it is important to provide businesses permanent, immediate 
tax relief to help encourage economic growth and job creation. 
By restoring and making permanent for businesses the ability to 
recover the costs of certain building improvements over 15 
years, H.R. 765 eliminates the significant reduction in the 
depreciation benefit that may result from the expiration of 
these temporary provisions after 2014. Making the 15-year 
recovery period permanent for these improvements provides much-
needed certainty for businesses, which have struggled through 
the economic challenges of the past seven years, enabling them 
to make investments critical to the growth and expansion of 
their businesses and to hire new employees.

                         C. Legislative History


Background

    H.R. 765 was introduced on February 5, 2015, and was 
referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

Committee action

    The Committee on Ways and Means marked up H.R. 765, ``the 
Restaurant and Retail Jobs and Growth Act of 2015,'' on 
September 17, 2015, and ordered the bill, as amended, favorably 
reported (with a quorum being present).

Committee hearings

    The need for permanent rules regarding 15-year depreciation 
for leasehold improvement, restaurant, and retail improvement 
property was discussed at no fewer than three hearings during 
the 112th Congress:
           Full Committee Hearing on How Business Tax 
        Reform Can Encourage Job Creation (June 2, 2011);
           Select Revenue Measures Subcommittee Hearing 
        on Certain Expiring Tax Provisions (April 26, 2012); 
        and
           Select Revenue Measures Subcommittee Hearing 
        on the Framework for Evaluating Certain Expiring Tax 
        Provisions (June 8, 2012).

                      II. EXPLANATION OF THE BILL


 A. Making Permanent 15-Year Straight-Line Cost Recovery for Qualified 
      Leasehold Improvements, Qualified Restaurant Buildings and 
 Improvements, and Qualified Retail Improvements (sec. 168 of the Code)


                              PRESENT LAW

In general

    A taxpayer generally must capitalize the cost of property 
used in a trade or business and recover such cost over time 
through annual deductions for depreciation or amortization. 
Tangible property generally is depreciated under the modified 
accelerated cost recovery system (``MACRS''), which determines 
depreciation by applying specific recovery periods, placed-in-
service conventions, and depreciation methods to the cost of 
various types of depreciable property.\1\ The cost of 
nonresidential real property is recovered using the straight-
line method of depreciation and a recovery period of 39 years. 
Nonresidential real property is subject to the mid-month 
placed-in-service convention. Under the mid-month convention, 
the depreciation allowance for the first year in which property 
is placed in service is based on the number of months the 
property was in service, and property placed in service at any 
time during a month is treated as having been placed in service 
in the middle of the month.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\Sec. 168.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Depreciation of leasehold improvements

    Generally, depreciation allowances for improvements made on 
leased property are determined under MACRS, even if the MACRS 
recovery period assigned to the property is longer than the 
term of the lease. This rule applies regardless of whether the 
lessor or the lessee places the leasehold improvements in 
service. If a leasehold improvement constitutes an addition or 
improvement to nonresidential real property already placed in 
service, the improvement generally is depreciated using the 
straight-line method over a 39-year recovery period, beginning 
in the month the addition or improvement was placed in service. 
However, exceptions exist for certain qualified leasehold 
improvements, qualified restaurant property, and qualified 
retail improvement property.

Qualified leasehold improvement property

    Section 168(e)(3)(E)(iv) provides a statutory 15-year 
recovery period for qualified leasehold improvement property 
placed in service before January 1, 2015. Qualified leasehold 
improvement property is any improvement to an interior portion 
of a building that is nonresidential real property, provided 
certain requirements are met.\2\ The improvement must be made 
under or pursuant to a lease either by the lessee (or 
sublessee), or by the lessor, of that portion of the building 
to be occupied exclusively by the lessee (or sublessee). The 
improvement must be placed in service more than three years 
after the date the building was first placed in service. 
Qualified leasehold improvement property does not include any 
improvement for which the expenditure is attributable to the 
enlargement of the building, any elevator or escalator, any 
structural component benefiting a common area, or the internal 
structural framework of the building.\3\ If a lessor makes an 
improvement that qualifies as qualified leasehold improvement 
property, such improvement does not qualify as qualified 
leasehold improvement property to any subsequent owner of such 
improvement.\4\ An exception to the rule applies in the case of 
death and certain transfers of property that qualify for non-
recognition treatment.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \2\Sec. 168(e)(6).
    \3\Sec. 168(e)(6) and (k)(3).
    \4\Sec. 168(e)(6)(A).
    \5\Sec. 168(e)(6)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Qualified leasehold improvement property is generally 
recovered using the straight-line method and a half-year 
convention.\6\ Qualified leasehold improvement property placed 
in service after December 31, 2014, is subject to the general 
rules described above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \6\Sec. 168(b)(3)(G) and (d). An additional first-year depreciation 
deduction (``bonus depreciation'') is allowed equal to 50 percent of 
the adjusted basis of qualified property acquired and placed in service 
before January 1, 2015 (January 1, 2016, for certain longer-lived and 
transportation property). See sec. 168(k). Qualified property eligible 
for bonus depreciation includes qualified leasehold improvement 
property. Sec. 168(k)(2)(A)(i)(IV).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Qualified restaurant property

    Section 168(e)(3)(E)(v) provides a statutory 15-year 
recovery period for qualified restaurant property placed in 
service before January 1, 2015. Qualified restaurant property 
is any section 1250 property that is a building or an 
improvement to a building, if more than 50 percent of the 
building's square footage is devoted to the preparation of, and 
seating for on-premises consumption of, prepared meals.\7\ 
Qualified restaurant property is recovered using the straight-
line method and a half-year convention.\8\ Additionally, 
qualified restaurant property is not eligible for bonus 
depreciation unless it also satisfies the definition of 
qualified leasehold improvement property.\9\ Qualified 
restaurant property placed in service after December 31, 2014, 
is subject to the general rules described above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \7\Sec. 168(e)(7).
    \8\Sec. 168(b)(3)(H) and (d).
    \9\Sec. 168(e)(7)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Qualified retail improvement property

    Section 168(e)(3)(E)(ix) provides a statutory 15-year 
recovery period for qualified retail improvement property 
placed in service before January 1, 2015. Qualified retail 
improvement property is any improvement to an interior portion 
of a building that is nonresidential real property if such 
portion is open to the general public\10\ and is used in the 
retail trade or business of selling tangible personal property 
to the general public, and such improvement is placed in 
service more than three years after the date the building was 
first placed in service.\11\ Qualified retail improvement 
property does not include any improvement for which the 
expenditure is attributable to the enlargement of the building, 
any elevator or escalator, any structural component benefiting 
a common area, or the internal structural framework of the 
building.\12\ In the case of an improvement made by the owner 
of such improvement, the improvement is a qualified retail 
improvement only so long as the improvement is held by such 
owner.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \10\Improvements to portions of a building not open to the general 
public (e.g., stock room in back of retail space) do not qualify under 
the provision.
    \11\Sec. 168(e)(8).
    \12\Sec. 168(e)(8)(C).
    \13\Sec. 168(e)(8)(B). Rules similar to section 168(e)(6)(B) apply 
in the case of death and certain transfers of property that qualify for 
non-recognition treatment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Retail establishments that qualify for the 15-year recovery 
period include those primarily engaged in the sale of goods. 
Examples of these retail establishments include, but are not 
limited to, grocery stores, clothing stores, hardware stores, 
and convenience stores. Establishments primarily engaged in 
providing services, such as professional services, financial 
services, personal services, health services, and 
entertainment, do not qualify. Generally, it is intended that 
businesses defined as a store retailer under the current North 
American Industry Classification System (industry sub-sectors 
441 through 453) qualify while those in other industry classes 
do not qualify.\14\

    Qualified retail improvement property is recovered using 
the straight-line method and a half-year convention.\15\ 
Additionally, qualified retail improvement property is not 
eligible for bonus depreciation unless it also satisfies the 
definition of qualified leasehold improvement property.\16\ 
Qualified retail improvement property placed in service after 
December 31, 2014, is subject to the general rules described 
above.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                           REASONS FOR CHANGE

    The Committee believes that the recovery period for the 
costs of certain leasehold improvements should correspond more 
closely to the useful life of the investment. The 39-year 
recovery period for leasehold improvements for property placed 
in service after December 31, 2014, extends well beyond the 
useful life of such investments. The Committee believes that 
lease terms for commercial real estate also are typically 
shorter than the 39-year recovery period. In the interests of 
simplicity and administrability, a uniform period for the 
recovery of leasehold improvements is desirable. Therefore, the 
provision makes permanent the 15-year recovery period for 
leasehold improvements.
    In addition, restaurant and retail buildings generally are 
more specialized structures, typically experiencing 
considerably more traffic and remaining open longer than most 
commercial properties. This daily use causes rapid 
deterioration of restaurant and retail properties and, thus, 
restaurant and retail facilities generally have a shorter life 
span than other commercial establishments. This results in 
restaurant and retail business owners having to repair and 
upgrade their facilities on an on-going basis. Therefore, the 
provision makes permanent the 15-year recovery period for 
qualified restaurant property and qualified retail 
improvements.

                        EXPLANATION OF PROVISION

    The provision makes permanent the present-law provisions 
for qualified leasehold improvement property, qualified 
restaurant property, and qualified retail improvement property.

                             EFFECTIVE DATE

    The provision is effective for property placed in service 
after December 31, 2014.

                      III. VOTES OF THE COMMITTEE

                     IV. BUDGET EFFECTS OF THE BILL


               A. Committee Estimate of Budgetary Effects

    In compliance with clause 3(d) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, the following statement is made 
concerning the effects on the budget of the bill, H.R. 765, as 
reported.
    The bill, as reported, is estimated to have the following 
effect on Federal budget receipts for fiscal years 2016-2025:

                                                                      FISCAL YEARS
                                                                  [Millions of Dollars]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In compliance with clause 8 of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, the following statement is made 
by the Joint Committee on Taxation with respect to the 
provisions of the bill amending the Internal Revenue Code of 
1986: The gross budgetary effect (before incorporating 
macroeconomic effects) in any fiscal year is less than 0.25 
percent of the current projected gross domestic product of the 
United States for that fiscal year; therefore, the bill is not 
``major legislation'' for purposes of requiring that the 
estimate include the budgetary effects of changes in economic 
output, employment, capital stock and other macroeconomic 
variables.

B. Statement Regarding New Budget Authority and Tax Expenditures Budget 
                               Authority

    In compliance with clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, the Committee states that the 
bill involves no new or increased budget authority. The 
Committee further states that the revenue-reducing tax 
provisions involve increased tax expenditures. (See amounts in 
table in Part IV.A., above.)

      C. Cost Estimate Prepared by the Congressional Budget Office

    In compliance with clause 3(c)(3) of rule XIII of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, requiring a cost estimate 
prepared by the CBO, the following statement by CBO is

H.R. 765--Restaurant and Retail Jobs and Growth Act of 2015

    H.R. 765 would amend the Internal Revenue Code to 
permanently provide a 15-year recovery period for depreciating 
certain restaurant, retail improvement, and leasehold 
improvement property, effective for such property placed in 
service after December 31, 2014. Under current law that 15-year 
recovery period expired on December 31, 2014, causing qualified 
property placed in service after that date to be depreciated 
over 39 years.
    The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) 
estimates that enacting H.R. 765 would reduce revenues, thus 
increasing federal budget deficits, by about $28.4 billion over 
the 2016-2025 period.
    The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 establishes budget-
reporting and enforcement procedures for legislation affecting 
direct spending and revenues. Enacting H.R. 765 would result in 
revenue losses in each year beginning in 2016. The estimated 
increases in the deficit are shown in the following table.
    JCT has determined that the bill contains no 
intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the 
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
    The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Peter Huether. 
The estimate was approved by David Weiner, Assistant Director 
for Tax Analysis.

     V. OTHER MATTERS TO BE DISCUSSED UNDER THE RULES OF THE HOUSE


          A. Committee Oversight Findings and Recommendations

    With respect to clause 3(c)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives (relating to oversight findings), 
the Committee advises that it was as a result of the 
Committee's review of the provisions of H.R. 765 that the 
Committee concluded that it is appropriate to report the bill, 
as amended, favorably to the House of Representatives with the 
recommendation that the bill do pass.

        B. Statement of General Performance Goals and Objectives

    With respect to clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, the Committee advises that the 
bill contains no measure that authorizes funding, so no 
statement of general performance goals and objectives for which 
any measure authorizes funding is required.

              C. Information Relating to Unfunded Mandates

    This information is provided in accordance with section 423 
of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. No. 104-
4).
    The Committee has determined that the bill does not contain 
Federal mandates on the private sector. The Committee has 
determined that the bill does not impose a Federal 
intergovernmental mandate on State, local, or tribal 
governments.

                D. Applicability of House Rule XXI 5(b)

    Rule XXI 5(b) of the Rules of the House of Representatives 
provides, in part, that ``A bill or joint resolution, 
amendment, or conference report carrying a Federal income tax 
rate increase may not be considered as passed or agreed to 
unless so determined by a vote of not less than three-fifths of 
the Members voting, a quorum being present.'' The Committee has 
carefully reviewed the bill, and states that the bill does not 
involve any Federal income tax rate increases within the 
meaning of the rule.

                       E. Tax Complexity Analysis

    Section 4022(b) of the Internal Revenue Service 
Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (the ``IRS Reform Act'') 
requires the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (in 
consultation with the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury 
Department) to provide a tax complexity analysis. The 
complexity analysis is required for all legislation reported by 
the Senate Committee on Finance, the House Committee on Ways 
and Means, or any committee of conference if the legislation 
includes a provision that directly or indirectly amends the 
Internal Revenue Code and has widespread applicability to 
individuals or small businesses.
    Pursuant to clause 3(h)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the staff of the Joint Committee on 
Taxation has determined that a complexity analysis is not 
required under section 4022(b) of the IRS Reform Act because 
the bill contains no provisions that amend the Code and that 
have ``widespread applicability'' to individuals or small 
businesses, within the meaning of the rule.

  F. Congressional Earmarks, Limited Tax Benefits, and Limited Tariff 
                                Benefits

    With respect to clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the Committee has carefully reviewed 
the provisions of the bill, and states that the provisions of 
the bill do not contain any congressional earmarks, limited tax 
benefits, or limited tariff benefits within the meaning of the 
rule.

                   G. Duplication of Federal Programs

    In compliance with Sec. 3(g)(2) of H. Res. 5 (114th 
Congress), the Committee states that no provision of the bill 
establishes or reauthorizes: (1) a program of the Federal 
Government known to be duplicative of another Federal program, 
(2) a program included in any report from the Government 
Accountability Office to Congress pursuant to section 21 of 
Public Law 111-139, or (3) a program related to a program 
identified in the most recent Catalog of Federal Domestic 
Assistance, published pursuant to the Federal Program 
Information Act (Public Law 95-220, as amended by Public Law 
98-169).

                 H. Disclosure of Directed Rule Makings

    In compliance with Sec. 3(i) of H. Res. 5 (114th Congress), 
the following statement is made concerning directed rule 
makings: The Committee estimates that the bill requires no 
directed rule makings within the meaning of such section.

                not United States persons.

                        owned by a partnership shall be 
                        determined on the basis of such

                the basis in the hands of the transferee as 
                does not exceed the adjusted basis in the hands

                by section 201 of the Tax Reform Act of 1986

                        taxable year for which a consolidated 
                        return is made by such group.

                under the provisions of this section.
                  (B) Treatment of lessor improvements which 
                are abandoned at termination of lease.--An 
                improvement--
                          (i) which is made by the lessor of

                        property, and
                          (ii) which is irrevocably disposed of

                        lessee,
                shall be treated for purposes of determining

          (9) Normalization rules.--
                  (A) In general.--In order to use a

                to any public utility property for purposes of 
                subsection (f)(2)--
                          (i) the taxpayer must, in computing 
                        its tax expense for purposes of 
                        establishing its cost of service for 
                        ratemaking purposes and reflecting 
                        operating results in its regulated 
                        books of account, use a method of 
                        depreciation with respect to such 
                        property that is the same as, and a 
                        depreciation period for such property 
                        that is no shorter than, the method and 
                        period used to compute its depreciation 
                        expense for such purposes; and
                          (ii) if the amount allowable as a 
                        deduction under this section with 
                        respect to such property (respecting 
                        all elections made by the taxpayer 
                        under this section) differs from the 
                        amount that would be allowable as a 
                        deduction under section 167 using the 
                        method (including the period, first and 
                        last year convention, and salvage 
                        value) used to compute regulated tax 
                        expense under clause (i), the taxpayer 
                        must make adjustments to a reserve to 
                        reflect the deferral of taxes resulting 
                        from such difference.
                  (B) Use of inconsistent estimates and

                        requirements of subparagraph (A) are 
                        not met is if the taxpayer, for 
                        ratemaking purposes, uses a procedure 
                        or adjustment which is inconsistent 
                        with the requirements of subparagraph 
                        (A).
                          (ii) Use of inconsistent estimates 
                        and projections.--The procedures and 
                        adjustments which are to be treated as 
                        inconsistent for purposes of clause (i) 
                        shall include any procedure or 
                        adjustment for ratemaking purposes 
                        which uses an estimate or projection of 
                        the taxpayer's tax expense, 
                        depreciation expense, or reserve for 
                        deferred taxes under subparagraph 
                        (A)(ii) unless such estimate or 
                        projection is also used, for ratemaking 
                        purposes, with respect to the other 2 
                        such items and with respect to the rate 
                        base.
                          (iii) Regulatory authority.--The 
                        Secretary may by regulations prescribe 
                        procedures and adjustments (in addition 
                        to those specified in clause (ii)) 
                        which are to be treated as inconsistent 
                        for purposes of clause (i).
                  (C) Public utility property which does not 
                meet normalization rules.--In the case of any 
                public utility property to which this section 
                does not apply by reason of subsection (f)(2), 
                the allowance for depreciation under section 
                167(a) shall be an amount computed using the 
                method and period referred to in subparagraph 
                (A)(i).
          (10) Public utility property.--The term ``public

                not United States persons.

        etc..--
                  (A) In general.--For purposes of this 
                subsection, if--
                          (i) any property which (but for this

                proportionate share of such property shall

                        loss, deduction, credit, and basis and

                        owned by a partnership shall be 
                        determined on the basis of such 
                        entity's share of partnership items of

                        allocated under section 704(c)), 
                        whichever results in the largest 
                        proportionate share.

                        entity is a partner in the partnership,

                this subsection, in the case of any property 
                which is owned by a partnership which has both

                under this section with respect to so much of 
                the basis in the hands of the transferee as 
                does not exceed the adjusted basis in the hands 
                of the transferor. In any case where this 
                section as in effect before the amendments made 
                by section 201 of the Tax Reform Act of 1986

                reference to this section as so in effect.
                  (B) Transactions covered.--The transactions 
                described in this subparagraph are--

                        of the same affiliated group during any 
                        taxable year for which a consolidated 
                        return is made by such group.

                property, if such building or improvement is 
                property to which this section applies, the 
                depreciation deduction shall be determined 
                under the provisions of this section.
                  (B) Treatment of lessor improvements which 
                are abandoned at termination of lease.--An 
                improvement--
                          (i) which is made by the lessor of

                        property, and
                          (ii) which is irrevocably disposed of

                        lessee,
                shall be treated for purposes of determining 
                gain or loss under this title as disposed of by

          (9) Normalization rules.--
                  (A) In general.--In order to use a

                to any public utility property for purposes of 
                subsection (f)(2)--
                          (i) the taxpayer must, in computing 
                        its tax expense for purposes of 
                        establishing its cost of service for 
                        ratemaking purposes and reflecting 
                        operating results in its regulated 
                        books of account, use a method of 
                        depreciation with respect to such 
                        property that is the same as, and a 
                        depreciation period for such property 
                        that is no shorter than, the method and 
                        period used to compute its depreciation 
                        expense for such purposes; and
                          (ii) if the amount allowable as a 
                        deduction under this section with 
                        respect to such property (respecting 
                        all elections made by the taxpayer 
                        under this section) differs from the 
                        amount that would be allowable as a 
                        deduction under section 167 using the 
                        method (including the period, first and 
                        last year convention, and salvage 
                        value) used to compute regulated tax 
                        expense under clause (i), the taxpayer 
                        must make adjustments to a reserve to 
                        reflect the deferral of taxes resulting 
                        from such difference.
                  (B) Use of inconsistent estimates and

                        requirements of subparagraph (A) are 
                        not met is if the taxpayer, for 
                        ratemaking purposes, uses a procedure 
                        or adjustment which is inconsistent 
                        with the requirements of subparagraph 
                        (A).
                          (ii) Use of inconsistent estimates 
                        and projections.--The procedures and 
                        adjustments which are to be treated as 
                        inconsistent for purposes of clause (i) 
                        shall include any procedure or 
                        adjustment for ratemaking purposes 
                        which uses an estimate or projection of 
                        the taxpayer's tax expense, 
                        depreciation expense, or reserve for 
                        deferred taxes under subparagraph 
                        (A)(ii) unless such estimate or 
                        projection is also used, for ratemaking 
                        purposes, with respect to the other 2 
                        such items and with respect to the rate 
                        base.
                          (iii) Regulatory authority.--The 
                        Secretary may by regulations prescribe

                        to those specified in clause (ii))

                        for purposes of clause (i).
                  (C) Public utility property which does not 
                meet normalization rules.--In the case of any 
                public utility property to which this section 
                does not apply by reason of subsection (f)(2), 
                the allowance for depreciation under section 
                167(a) shall be an amount computed using the 
                method and period referred to in subparagraph 
                (A)(i).
          (10) Public utility property.--The term ``public 
        utility property'' means property used predominantly in

                thereof, by any agency or instrumentality of 
                the United States, or by a public service or

                         VII. DISSENTING VIEWS

    The five permanent, unpaid-for tax extender bills approved 
by the Republicans at the markup would add more than $411 
billion to the deficit. Combined with the eleven tax bills that 
were approved by the Republicans in previous markups this 
Congress, these sixteen tax bills would add more than $1 
trillion to the deficit. In the 113th Congress, Ways and Means 
Committee Republicans selectively approved fourteen of the more 
than fifty expired tax provisions, totaling more than $825 
billion worth of deficit-financed, permanent tax cuts. This 
selective approach failed last Congress, with none of these 
permanent provisions being enacted into law or even considered 
by the Senate. The permanent, unpaid-for tax bills marked up by 
the Committee set us down a partisan path, when we should be 
working in a responsible, bipartisan manner on tax reform.
    Even though a number of these bills were introduced 
individually with some bipartisan support, the opposition to 
these bills is based on the position that these tax provisions 
should not be made permanent without any revenue offset. The 
fiscally irresponsible approach that the Committee Republicans 
are taking with respect to this and other legislation 
undermines the bipartisan support that some of the provisions 
enjoy. In fact, this provision was repealed in the Republican 
tax reform plan (H.R. 1) introduced by the Ways and Means 
Committee Chairman last Congress. The cost of making this 
provision permanent should be offset, and Republicans should 
stop playing games by passing these provisions outside of 
comprehensive tax reform. The American people expect a tax code 
that maintains and supports our shared priorities, and each 
time the Committee considers these bills in a piecemeal 
approach, it is taking a step in the wrong direction and away 
from comprehensive tax reform.
    We all support provisions that help America's businesses 
grow. However, expired provisions must be dealt with in a 
comprehensive manner. The Republicans did not take up other tax 
extenders that also are important to Democratic Committee 
Members. Left to an uncertain fate are provisions like the Work 
Opportunity Tax Credit, the New Markets Tax Credit, and the 
renewable energy tax credits, as well as the long-term status 
of the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Child Tax Credit, and the 
American Opportunity Tax Credit.
            Sincerely,
                                           Sander M. Levin,
                                                    Ranking Member.
