The purpose of this meeting is to continue discussion of the issues impacting the strength and competitiveness of the Nation's economy. The discussion will include Board review of a report by the Tax Reform subcommittee. The report discusses a spectrum of reform ideas relating to tax simplification, enforcement of existing tax laws, and reform of the corporate tax system, without considering policies that would raise taxes on families making less than $250,000. The PERAB is not tasked with providing its own policy recommendations for the Administration and the final report will be an almanac of options from a broad range of viewpoints. The PERAB will vote on presenting the report as formal advice to the President.

Executive Secretary and Deputy Chief of Staff.
