With this goal in mind, this report identifies key challenges associated with the existing regulatory permitting system and sets forth a series of recommended reforms.

In addition, many of the rules for taxing the income American businesses earn abroad date back to the 1960s, and are completely out of sync with the way our leading competitors in Europe and Asia tax their companies. Once again, this puts U.S. companies and workers at a competitive disadvantage.
