Specifically selected by House Leadership to sit on the conference committee for this bill, Congressman Sessions helped determine the final version of this important legislation.

In addition to supporting substantial tax relief for hard-working American families, Congressman Sessions focuses on updating and improving our health care system; protecting, preserving, and reforming Social Security and Medicare; and eliminating wasteful government spending.
