WASHINGTON (News release) - American Forest & Paper Association President and CEO Heidi Brock issued the following statement in response to H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, being signed into law:

"Today's action represents a resounding victory and long-term business certainty for American manufacturers. The tax reform legislation signed into law today extends key tax provisions that will likely spur long-term growth and job creation throughout the pulp, paper, packaging and tissue products manufacturing industry. Without this certainty, new projects, new facilities and more would be hanging in the balance.

"Our leaders in Congress and the administration delivered a strong tax package that should boost American manufacturing. We look forward to continuing to work toward shared priorities that reshore manufacturing jobs here in the U.S."
