Reactions to the One, Big, Beautiful Bill:
Zippy Duvall, President of the American Farm Bureau Federation: “We commend the House for passing H.R.1, a bill that modernizes farm programs and enhances critical tax provisions vital for America’s small farmers and ranchers.

Making business tax deductions permanent and maintaining existing estate tax exemptions will ensure that countless families can successfully pass down their farms. We urge the Senate to collaborate and swiftly advance this legislation to deliver necessary relief to America’s agricultural community.”
Neil Bradley, Executive Vice President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce: “Today, the House delivered a clear message—American workers and businesses are in dire need of permanent tax relief.

The legislation that emerged from the House today includes essential measures that support local businesses, enhance our global standing, and promote sustainable economic growth. We applaud Speaker Johnson for his leadership and commitment to solidifying President Trump’s tax reforms, and we encourage the Senate to keep the momentum going.”
Airlines for America: “We commend the House for passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which allocates $12.5 billion towards modernizing the Federal Aviation Administration’s air traffic control systems and infrastructure.

This investment is a crucial first step toward an aviation system that efficiently manages 27,000 flights and 2.7 million passengers daily. We urge the Senate to act swiftly and send this bill to the President.”
