This hearing examines whether several widely used provisions of the tax code which were due to expire before 2010 are accomplishing what Congress intended and if the cost is worth the economic benefit--expensing to small businesses the saver's credit intended to encourage retirement savings by low-income taxpayers and the 15-percent individual rate for most dividends and capital gains.

200690555Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 2006. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Very good. iii 1 53 7 pages. The Chairman opened the hearing by saying "we’re anxious that this hearing be productive that while we explore these differences between the United States and our neighbor Canada we can better understand what is dividing us. And I think all of us hope for a new beginning with Canada. This is—however is an issue that has bedeviled people on both sides of the border. And a desire to have greater understanding and perhaps open up opportunities for further dialogue is the motive behind this hearing. So today’s hearing is going to examine the economic impacts of the Canadian softwood lumber dispute on the competitiveness and the survival of the American forest-products sector." The Chairman further stated "While I recognize the importance to consumers of an affordable supply of lumber that privilege neither outweighs nor is incompatible with trade laws of this country. Ultimately trade laws and trade agreements are to the advantage of American consumers but free trade assumes fair competition. Neither appears to be fully intact in the North American lumber market. This debate has lasted more than 20 years and we have two options before us. We can continue along a path of patchwork of tariffs and quotas or we can seek to resolve the differences in our lumber systems. We can continue to act as two countries with two markets or we can proceed as one continent with a shared market that abides by the same market rules. I realize that this dispute has strained relations with our neighbor to the north and that is most unfortunate. I deeply value our relationship with Canada which Churchill described once as the lynchpin of the English-speaking world. We share security and our democratic interests on this continent and throughout the world. Canada and the United States also have a very special economic relationship. Indeed we essentially form one large common market. For my part I want to extend to the new Canadian Government my sincere hope of a renewed North American relationship. The prompt resumption of negotiations with the United States on the softwood issue can and should be the inaugural act of that new relationship. The faster we can resolve our differences the sooner companies on both sides of the border can reassert themselves in the world market. If litigation is pursued at the expense of mutual settlement however I fear both countries and both economies will suffer. Mills on both sides of the border will continue to close and other nations beyond this continent will gladly fill in the gap. With respect to the U.S. Government I want to point out that the Canadian lumber dispute is the largest trade case in our history. This Administration and this Senator are both strong proponents of free trade. However my ability to continue supporting free-trade agreements rests upon confidence that U.S. industries are fully protected under U.S. trade law; by that meaning that they and their competitors are playing by the same rules. I applaud our officials at Commerce and USTR for the time and the gray hairs they have invested in this case and I very much look forward to their report." U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

This hearing examined very high levels of lead in the public water supply of the District of Columbia with particular emphasis to the risk posed to children. From the hearing remarks by Senator Warner the acting Chair "My constituents particularly in Arlington County and the city of Falls Church because they are the primary customers of the Washington Aqueduct System along with the District of Columbia. The facts of this situation as they have unfolded over the past 2 months are really very disturbing. It is even more disturbing however that we and the public became aware of this ongoing problem only after reports in the local media. Every one of the government officials sitting before us on the first panel the EPA the Corps the Water and Sewer Authority had some measure of knowledge that testing showed some level of lead. That level we will hear more about today and that that water was used for drinking. The levels we understand here on the committee exceeded the Federal action levels. The rest we know there was no immediate action taken even though that knowledge was in the hands of responsible government officials. We will have the opportunity today to give a full explanation of that. While performing research into premature pipe corrosion for the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority WASA in 2001 Marc Edwards an expert in plumbing corrosion discovered lead levels in the drinking water of Washington D.C. at least 83 times higher than the accepted safe limit. He found that the decision to change from chlorine to chloramine as a treatment chemical had caused the spike in lead levels. The contamination has left thousands of children with lifelong health risks and led to a re-evaluation of the use of monochloramine in public drinking-water systems. After the Washington Post ran a series of front-page articles about Edwards's findings resulting in widespread public concern the United States House of Representatives conducted an investigation. The House found that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC had made "scientifically indefensible" claims in a report that had indicated there was no risk from the high lead levels. The Post investigation uncovered evidence of widespread misreporting of lead levels at water agencies across the United States leading to regulatory crackdowns and changes in Environmental Protection Agency policies. The problem was addressed in 2004 by adding additional treatments to the water preventing the chloramine from dissolving lead in the water mains solder joints and plumbing fixtures. U. S.

Serial No. J-107-37. On September 22 1999 the United States Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the major cigarette manufacturers in America. This litigation was borught under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act known as RICO. The government filed this lawsuit to fulfill its duty to U>S> taxpayers to enforce the law protect the public treasury and prevent the tobacco industry from continuing to defraud the American public. SInce the case was filed in the view of the Senator Durbin the tobacco companies' conduct had not changed. Senator Durbin was concerned about news reports that indicated that the Department of Justice might not be aggressively pursuing the case against the tobacco industry. Despite repeated requests and ample time and opportunity to respond Senator Durbin felt that the Justice Department was unresponsive to Congressional inquiries and he flet that this lack of action was irresponsible given the potential magnitude of the case.

In the aftermath of the Enron collapse this hearing considered executive compensation and stock options. From the Opening Statement of Hon Max Baucus Chairman Committee on Finance. Today we are addressing some interrelated issues of corporate governance and executive compensation. Based upon questions that have arisen with the collapse of Enron we have been inundated with reports of accounting restatements disclosure concerns SEC files and so forth. Congress certainly is reacting to all of these questions. There must be what over a dozen two dozen committees and subcommittees in the Congress who have held hearings on issues related to Enron. Now we in the Congress are starting to turn to legislation. For our part the Finance Committee is working on three pieces of legislation: pensions tax shelters and executive compensation and stock options. At the same time corporations are also reacting themselves from the collapse of Enron. Some of them are reforming their practices. We now seek delays in financial reports as internal changes are made to reflect improved and probably more conservative accounting practices. The Financial Accounting Standards Board is considering reforms and the Securities Exchange Commission appears to be cracking down on enforcement. With that in mind however I think it is also critical for us to take a couple of steps back from the canvas and look at the larger picture. Before we go down this road too far I think it is important to take a good look at what we are doing where we are and what got us to this point. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback
