What was lobbied
One issue area, each in the filer's own words, with who lobbied on it and where.
Taxation/Internal Revenue Code TAX
Energy Tax Legislation -- The House of Representatives passed HR 6049 by Ways and Means Chairman Rangel [D-NY]. It is a tax extenders bill, including energy taxes. The legislation is paid for with offsets but does not include an AMT patch, which was approved later and was paid for. However, HR 6049 failed twice to get cloture in the Senate, since the Republican minority opposes offsets to pay for extending existing tax laws. It isexpected to be brought up for another cloture vote after the Fourth of July recess.
