  • July 13, 2009 the Honorable Laura Richardson US House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Dear Representative Richardson
    July 13, 2009 The Honorable Laura Richardson U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Dear Representative Richardson: The Customs and Border Coalition (CBC), an industry voice on trade facilitation, national security and customs and border issues, represents a broad base of companies and associations (many in your district) engaged in international trade. The Coalition includes manufacturers, retailers, customs brokers, freight forwarders, and virtually every other entity involved in global supply chains. We write today in opposition to a proposed increase in the Harbor Maintenance Tax (HMT) from 0.125 percent to 0.4375 percent, as outlined in the Making Opportunities Via Efficient and More Effective National Transportation Act of 2009 (MOVEMENT Act). While the CBC agrees that improvements to infrastructure are needed, there are several reasons why increasing the HMT is the not the proper financing method. First, the HMT is a user fee designed to reimburse the government for services provided to users (e.g., importers and exporters) of the nation’s ports as part of transportation infrastructure funding. The HMT trust fund has enjoyed a surplus for many years and no projects are backlogged for lack of funds. Thus, we do not believe that an increase in the HMT is warranted. Second, in light of the current global and U.S. economic crisis, the proposed increase in the HMT will increase operating costs by billions of dollars for U.S. industry, seriously harming our ability to compete in the global market. The financial burden of such an increase will fall on industries importing critical components and final products for their domestic operations, including small and medium-sized businesses that are already heavily affected by the current negative economic climate.

Skirting campaign finance laws. Adultery and sexual harassment. CREW has spent the past five years shining a spotlight on the extensive violations of the public trust committed by members of Congress. After publishing five “Most Corrupt Members of Congress” reports, it’s clear that the system for holding accountable those members of Congress who sacrifice the public interest for special interests is not working. Whether members take bribes, violate gift rules, or flout campaign finance regulations, those charged with enforcement look the other way. Over the past five years, CREW has uncovered more than 425 instances of potential violations of ethics rules by no fewer than 56 members of Congress. Of those, 37 members have never been investigated by any of the congressional ethics bodies, and 26 “Most Corrupt” members continue to serve in Congress. Because of that, this year, CREW is naming the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct and the Senate Select Committee on Ethics to its “Most Corrupt” list, for standing by and allowing members of Congress to break the rules with impunity.
