TO THE MEMBERS OF THE U.S. SENATE: The U.S. Chamber of Commerce urges you to support the Motion to Proceed to H.R. 1628, which would allow the Senate to begin consideration of the health care legislation passed by the House earlier this year.

While good faith negotiations continue, remaining issues can be dealt with on the Senate Floor through the debate and amendment process.
The Chamber is encouraged by the self-driving vehicle legislation, and we hope to work with the Committee moving forward to ensure innovation and development are not stifled as a result of inconsistent state liability rules and entrepreneurial plaintiffs lawyers.
