‘Just yesterday, I was pleased to announce that Humana – which employs more than 12,000 Kentuckians – is accelerating pay incentives and increasing its minimum hourly wage because of tax reform. The good news keeps coming. Toyota and Mazda are doubling down on existing investments in the U.S., announcing plans to create 4,000 new jobs in Huntsville, Alabama. The world is noticing that America is open for business. And in large part, it’s because we have shaken off an outdated, burdensome tax code.’

‘It is no secret that the world remains dangerous. Terrorist groups remain as intent today as they did on September 11, 2001 on harming Americans and those working with us overseas.

I look forward to renewing the bipartisan consensus on this issue and voting to reauthorize this important provision soon.’
