“We applaud the bi-partisan agreement reached by the White House and Congressional leaders, which provides a solid framework that will benefit families and small businesses of all income levels, especially during these difficult economic times. The proposed package will also provide certainty to companies facing important operating decisions for the coming year. We urge the U.S. Congress to pass this package quickly to help families and businesses avoid tax increases and help place the economy firmly on the road to recovery.”
