  • August 10, 2021 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi the Honorable Steny
    August 10, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Steny Hoyer Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer, As we advance legislation to rebuild and renew America’s infrastructure, we encourage you to continue your commitment to combating the climate crisis by including critical clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives in the upcoming infrastructure package. These incentives will play a critical role in America’s economic recovery, alleviate some of the pollution impacts that have been borne by disadvantaged communities, and help the country build back better and cleaner. The clean energy sector was projected to add 175,000 jobs in 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic upended the industry and roughly 300,000 clean energy workers were still out of work in the beginning of 2021.1 Clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives are an important part of bringing these workers back. It is critical that these policies support strong labor standards and domestic manufacturing. The importance of clean energy tax policy is made even more apparent and urgent with record- high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, unprecedented drought across the West, and the impacts of tropical storms felt up and down the East Coast. We ask that the infrastructure package prioritize inclusion of a stable, predictable, and long-term tax platform that: Provides long-term extensions and expansions to the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit to meet President Biden’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035; Extends and modernizes tax incentives for commercial and residential energy efficiency improvements and residential electrification; Extends and modifies incentives for clean transportation options and alternative fuel infrastructure; and Supports domestic clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation manufacturing.

    April 2, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives H-232, United States Capitol Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi: We are grateful for your tireless work to address the needs of all Americans struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic, and for your understanding of the tremendous burdens that have been borne by localities as they work to respond to this crisis and keep their populations safe. However, we are concerned that the COVID-19 relief packages considered thus far have not provided direct funding to stabilize smaller counties, cities, and towns—specifically, those with populations under 500,000. As such, we urge you to include direct stabilization funding to such localities in the next COVID-19 response bill, or to lower the threshold for direct funding through the Coronavirus Relief Fund to localities with smaller populations. Many of us represent districts containing no or few localities with populations above 500,000. Like their larger neighbors, though, these smaller counties, cities, and towns have faced enormous costs while responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. These costs include deploying timely public service announcements to keep Americans informed, rapidly activating emergency operations, readying employees for telework to keep services running, and more. This work is essential to keeping our constituents safe and mitigating the spread of the coronavirus as effectively as possible. We fear that, without targeted stabilization funding, smaller localities will be unable to continue providing these critical services to our constituents at the rate they are currently. We applaud you for including a $200 billion Coronavirus Relief Fund as part of H.R.

While COVID-19 related-research is now in overdrive, most other research has been slowed down or stopped due to pandemic-induced closures of campuses and laboratories. We are deeply concerned that the people who comprise the research workforce – graduate students, postdocs, principal investigators, and technical support staff – are at risk. While Federal rules have allowed researchers to continue to receive their salaries from federal grant funding, their work has been stopped due to shuttered laboratories and facilities and many researchers are currently unable to make progress on their grants. Additionally, researchers will need supplemental funding to support an additional four months’ salary, as many campuses will remain shuttered until the fall, at the earliest. Many core research facilities – typically funded by user fees – sit idle. Still, others have incurred significant costs for shutting down their labs, donating the personal protective equipment (PPE) to frontline health care workers, and cancelling planned experiments. Congress must act to preserve our current scientific workforce and ensure that the U.S.

  • July 30, 2020 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi the Honorable Mitch Mcconnell Speaker of the House Majority Leader United
    July 30, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Mitch McConnell Speaker of the House Majority Leader United States House of Representatives United States Senate Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Kevin McCarthy The Honorable Charles Schumer Minority Leader Minority Leader United States House of Representatives United States Senate Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader McConnell, Minority Leader McCarthy, and Minority Leader Schumer: We write to highlight the critical need for assistance to mid-sized manufacturers in upcoming COVID-19 relief legislation, through means to address the question of solvency timelines as well as provide a direct lending opportunity to rapidly and appropriately assist this population. As you know, small to medium sized manufacturers are the backbone of the U.S. economy and the middle class. According to the National Association of Manufacturers, American manufacturing contributed $2.362 trillion to the U.S. economy in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. For every $1.00 spent in manufacturing, another $2.74 is added to the economy. But this pandemic has inflicted serious economic crisis on these mid-sized businesses at the same time it highlighted vulnerabilities of America’s overreliance on global supply chains and the necessity of a robust domestic manufacturing base. Medium-sized manufacturers too often lack the capacity typical of large companies to weather the whims of the free market in normal times. The onset of the COVID-19 economic crisis was but another attack on an already economically vulnerable sector. To make matters worse though, while small business manufacturers could seek refuge through the Paycheck Protection Program and larger firms relied on preexisting relationships with financing institutions with the means to help them weather the storm, many medium sized firms lacked these resources necessary to fend off economic crisis.

    Exit interview with Marcia (Marcy) Kaptur, Domestic Policy Staff Location: Room 490, Executive Office Building Interviewer: David Alsobrook, Presidential Papers Staff Date: October 17, 1979, 5 pm Transcriber: Lyn Kirkland Alsobrook: Marcy, what have you been doing today? Kaptur: Well, asking that question of someone who is ready to leave is difficult to answer. In a way, it isn’t a normal day, but I started out this morning in a meeting with one of the several professors around the country that deal with urban neighborhood research--working on an agenda for a meeting this Friday with a much larger group of people who are serving on a national steering committee, at my request, to look at how their research can be more fully brought to bear on public policy. So we are in the process of putting together a nationwide network across disciplines to effect policy in the 80s. So, that was my first meeting. Then, let’s see, what happened next? Then, I’ve been gone for two days, I’ve been traveling. I was in Baltimore, and I was in Chicago, so I had to answer the phone messages, which I have not completed. I had to open mail, and then I didn’t realize that the Department of Education was assigned to us this morning and I had some politicians from Ohio stop in to see me as a result of that. That is my - one of my home states—Illinois is the other one. And then we had lunch together. Now what did I do this afternoon? Oh, I dictated some letters.
