Marc Gerson was quoted regarding the legislative prospects for consideration of the so-called "extenders" package before the end of the year and the impact of the current tax reform debate on such consideration. Gerson noted that the "extenders" package typically advances as a single bipartisan package, but any consideration on a delayed basis would impact companies' financial statements, cause disclosure issues and disrupt investments. "A lot of it is a question of timing, but also what is the interaction with comprehensive tax reform efforts that are going on," he said.
