Conservative Activity
--Rep. Phil Crane (R-IL) and Rep. Don Manzullo (R-IL) have introduced a bill (H.R. 1769) that would repeal the Extra-Territorial Income (ETI) tax relief program for U.S. exporters and replace it with a corporate tax rate reduction that rewards manufacturing done in the United States.

The Money Monitor
Each week in "The Money Monitor," the RSC tracks how the bills passed by the House would affect authorizations, mandatory spending, appropriations, and federal government revenue. Last week, because the House was out of session, no new spending was authorized.
