   Inserted: (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--

   Inserted: (5) on several occasions the Senate has supported reforming our tax laws to eliminate policies that make it cheaper to move jobs overseas; and

   Inserted: (6) job creation is essential to the economic stability of the United States and the Administration should pursue policies that serve as an engine for economic growth, higher wage jobs, and increased productivity.

   Inserted: (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the Senate should--

   Inserted: (1) oppose any efforts to encourage the outsourcing of American jobs overseas; and
