The National Park Foundation was established in 1967 with support from Lady Bird Johnson and an initial $1 million contribution from Laurance Rockefeller.

Camp Named Chairman of Conference Committee

Posted by admin | Camping Gear | Saturday 28 January 2012 9:14 pm

The House-Senate conference committee tasked with resolving differences between the chambers’ versions of a package to extend the payroll tax cut, extend unemployment insurance benefits and prevent a deep cut in Medicare reimbursements for doctors held their first hearing today.  Congressman Dave Camp (R-Midland), Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, introduced the House version H.R. 3630, The Middle Class Tax Relief & Job Creation Act, in December.

In his opening statement Camp stated:  “The biggest issue I see is that the House, and only the House, has put forward a plan to extend for one year the payroll tax holiday, unemployment insurance benefits and payments to doctors treating our nation’s seniors and those enrolled in Medicare. The Senate’s position gets us through February, and this has left every working American wondering what their taxes will be next year.”

Camp was chosen to lead the 20 conference committee members responsible for negotiations along with Vice-Chairman Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT). The committee will meet again on Wednesday, February 1, 2012.
