i also do want to thank my colleagues, representative claudia tenney from new york, brad schneider from illinois and dina titus from nevada, for joining me in introducing this legislation and i want to thank mr. smith for his long support and leadership on this bill. mr. speaker, today right now there are american citizens being held captive by terrorist groups and foreign adversaries. under our current law, americans who have been detained illegally abroad may be subject to certain tax penalties and i.r.s. fees. it is our responsibility to bring these americans home and, frankly, to fix this unacceptable flaw in the federal tax code. the last things that americans should have to deal with is more government red tape and bureaucracy. h.r. 9495 also works to prevent tax abuse in our tax code. since the horrific attack on israel by hamas, the ways and means committee has investigated terror groups and bad actors that threaten the u.s. and our allies. one finding, mr. speaker, which should enrage all of us, is that there are tax-exempt nonprofits operating in the united states, despite bei
