Dear Mrs Davis:

Thank you for contactingT me t.o express your strong support
ior extenuirrg unemployrrenL conpensatic;-i p::ograrns. I appreciats-e
hearing from you.
The authorization for the Emergency Unemployment
Compensat.ion (EUC08 ) program expired on rTune 2 , 2010 . Those
beneficiarles receiving tier I, II, III, or IV EUCO8 benefit.s
before May 29, 2010/ are "grandfathered" for t.heir remaining
weeks of eligibilit.y. No new enLrants into any tier of the EUCOB
program are authorized aft.er May 29, 2010.
The Senate is current.Iy debating H.R. 4213, the Tax
Extenders Act of 2010. H.R. 42L3 woul-d ext.end the availability
of EUC08, 100? federal financing of Extended Beneflt (ne; , and
the #25 Federal Additional Compensation (FAC) benefj_t, through
the end of December 2010. While I certainly want to help those
who are facing prolonged unemployment, T voted against H.R. 42L3
because the tax increases included in this bill are unnecessary
and inappropriate and woul-d further hinder our economy from
recovering and providing much needed jobs to Ut.ahns.
I am disappointed t.hat Congressional l-eaders have chosen Lo
ii'1E-?^l-\2.

killing Lax increases. I bel-ieve most members of Congress
support extending unemployment insurance to those who have been
laid off and rieed some additional help. Hcwever, sr) many of us
l'rel i erre f hese issues should be proposed and Cebated wit.hout
forcing terrible Lax increases on U.S. citizens.
I am sorry to hear about the economic duress you are facing.
f am so concerned in fact, Lhat I work every day t.o create a
business friendly environmenL in the U.S" which fosters growth
and innovation and jobs. I wanL an environment. t.hat. not only
competes for new busj-nesses worldwide, but wins businesses and
creates jobs here in t.he u.s. because of t.he business friendly
regulat.ory and tax environmenLs.
