Chairman Thomas’s mark for the corporate tax bill conference report includes 15 energy-related items. Last night, the chairman led conferees in a line-by-line walk-through of the revenue tables contained in his 633-page draft. Today, the 41 conferees began laboring through a long list of amendments (including energy amendments). "I am encouraged by the solid starting point on energy in the chairman’s mark," said Sen. Jeff Bingaman, top Democrat on the Energy Committee and a conferee.
