    REPORT NO. 82-156 GOV MAJOR ACTS OF CONGRESS AND TREATIES APPROVED BY THE SENATE 1789-1980 Christopher Dell Stephen W. Stathis Analysts in American National Governent Government Division September 1982 CONmGHnItNA^l JK 1000 B RE filmH C SE HVICA^^ ABSTRACT During the nearly two centuries since the framing of the Constitution, more than 41,000 public bills have been approved by Congress, submitted to the President for his approval and become law. The seven hundred or so acts summarized in this compilation represent the major acts approved by Congress in its efforts to determine national policies to be carried out by the executive branch, to authorize appropriations to carry out these policies, and to fulfill its responsibility of assuring that such actions are being carried out in accordance with congressional intent. Also included are those treaties considered to be of similar importance. An extensive index allows each entry in this work to be located with relative ease. The authors wish to credit Daphine Lee, Larry Nunley, and Lenora Pruitt for the secretarial production of this report.

  • Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and Its Role in U.S
    Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and Its Role in U.S. Trade Policy J. F. Hornbeck Specialist in International Trade and Finance August 5, 2013 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41922 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and Its Role in U.S. Trade Policy Summary Congress created Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) in the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 to help workers and firms adjust to dislocation that may be caused by increased trade liberalization. It is justified now, as it was then, on grounds that the government has an obligation to help the “losers” of policy-driven trade opening. TAA is also presented as an alternative to policies that would restrict imports, and so provides assistance while bolstering freer trade and diminishing prospects for potentially costly tension (retaliation) among trade partners. As in the past, critics strongly debate the merits of TAA on equity, efficiency, and budgetary grounds. Nonetheless, finding agreement on TAA remains important for forging a compromise on national trade policy. TAA program authorizations are scheduled to expire on December 31, 2013. The Trade Adjustment Assistance Extension Act of 2013 (S. 1357) was introduced in the 113th Congress. It would extend TAA programs through 2020. President Obama also supports TAA reauthorization, linking it to renewal of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), which Congress may also take up this year. This report discusses the role of TAA in U.S. trade policy from its inception as a legislative option in the early 1950s to its core role as a cornerstone of modern trade policy that many argue has served to promote the long-term U.S.

Copyright 2021 by Ernesto Hernández-López Volume 16 (Spring 2021) Northwestern Journal of Law and Social Policy Trade War, PPE, and Race Ernesto Hernández-López* ABSTRACT Tariffs on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as face masks and gloves, weaken the American response to COVID. The United States has exacerbated PPE shortages with Section 301 tariffs on these goods, part of a trade war with China. This has a disparate impact felt by minority communities because of a series of health inequity harms. COVID’s racial disparity appears in virus exposure, virus susceptibility, and COVID treatments. This Article makes legal, policy, and race-and-health arguments. Congress has delegated to the United States Trade Representative expansive authority to increase tariffs.

  • TEMPORARY TAX POLICY in the UNITED STATES Mark J
    TEMPORARY TAX POLICY IN THE UNITED STATES Mark J. Mazur Robert C. Pozen Director Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center before the Committee on Ways and Means, Subcommittee on Select Revenue Measures United States House of Representatives Hearing on Temporary Policy in the Internal Revenue Code March 12, 2019 Chairman Thompson, Ranking Member Smith, and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for inviting me to appear today to discuss issues surrounding temporary tax policy. The views I express in this testimony are my own and should not be attributed to the Tax Policy Center, the Urban Institute, the Brookings Institution, their boards, or their funders. BACKGROUND The history of temporary tax policy in the United States is long, going back at least to the 1960s. Just one example can help illustrate this history. In 1962, an investment tax credit was enacted to help spur business investment. The credit rate was 7 percent, and the credit could be claimed on new tangible personal property; generally, this covered machinery and equipment and was intended to exclude buildings. A limited amount of used property ($100,000) also was eligible. The amount of credit claimed was subtracted from the asset basis subject to depreciation, but this provision was dropped in the Revenue Act of 1964. At that point, the credit provided a flat 7 percent tax subsidy for investment in qualified property. But then Congress and the Johnson administration became concerned about inflation and an overheated economy, so the credit was suspended from October 1966 to March 1967, then reinstated. The investment credit was repealed in the Tax Reform Act of 1969 but reinstated in the Revenue Act of 1971.
