Mr. CRAPO. Mr. President, I rise today to urge my colleagues to vote in favor of the motion to invoke cloture on Mr. Ken Kies, who is nominated to serve as the Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy at the Treasury Department.

The Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy is the senior adviser to the Secretary of the Treasury for analyzing, developing, and implementing Federal tax policies and programs.

Mr. Kies is eminently qualified for this position. He has a total of 47 years of experience as a tax attorney, covering every aspect of the Internal Revenue Code. Mr. Kies has also been involved in every significant piece of Federal tax legislation since 1981.

If confirmed, Mr. Kies will be a valuable partner in our efforts to prevent a $4 trillion-plus tax hike on American families and businesses and to deliver additional tax relief for middle-class workers and families.

I encourage my colleagues to join me in advancing his nomination.
