WASHINGTON (News release) - The American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) President and CEO Heidi Brock issued the following statement in response to the U.S. House of Representative's Build Back Better Act framework.

"AF&PA opposes the corporate tax increases included in the Build Back Better Act. These tax increases would adversely impact U.S. manufacturing, reduce U.S. global competitiveness and put essential jobs at risk during a critical time of economic recovery. We urge Congress to consider the long-term impact these short-sighted policies will have on manufacturing workers across the country, and vote 'no' on this legislation."
