The following press release was published by the U.S. Congress Committee on Ways and Means on Dec. 1, 2014. It is reproduced in full below.

WASHINGTON - Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) made the following statement regarding the one-year tax extender bill that Republicans introduced today and plan to bring to the floor later this week (HR 5771):

I actively and publicly opposed last week’s proposal that would have given permanent tax breaks to a relative few, while costing more than $400 billion and leaving out critical provisions that help working families. This one-year extension avoids that damaging proposal."
