]]> Comment on The American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) Seeks Support for S. 1232 by The ESOP Association Blog http://esopassociationblog.org/2012/09/04/the-american-institute-of-cpas-aicpa-seeks-support-for-s-1232/#comment-146 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 14:00:06 +0000 http://esopassociationblog.org/?p=763#comment-146 We welcome your contacting both of your Senators, Mr. Grassley and Mr. Harkin, by letter followed up with a telephone call in 5 to 10 working days to ask to speak to the staff aide who may have received the letter. May we especially point out the important role Senator Harkin has with regard to the Department of Labor (DOL). One, he is Chair of the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, which has primary jurisdiction over all DOL programs including the Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) which issued the objectionable proposed regulation. Also, he Chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education which reviews and approves spending by the DOL. His role makes him first among equals in the eyes of the DOL.

Finally, we do appreciate what the AICPA has done. It is the largest organization in the history of ESOPs to stand with The ESOP Association on a government advocacy effort.

Thank you for reaching out to your Senators on this issue.
