I commend Speaker Paul Ryan, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady and all the members of the House who have worked tirelessly to get this critical bill through their chamber. \n\u201cThrough regular order and an open and transparent amendment process, the members of the Senate\u2019s tax writing committee are also making real progress on a bill that\u2019s been years in the making to fulfill our promise to the American people.
