The President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President:
On behalf of the more than 140,000 members of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), I want to thank you for keeping your campaign promise and signing the recent executive order directing the Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to begin the process of rescinding or revising the controversial "waters of the United States" (WOTUS) rule.
I was truly honored to be at the White House on Feb. 28 for the signing ceremony. It was also a privilege to personally convey to you the gratitude of the nation's home builders for your strong leadership and decisive actions to roll back excessive regulations that are harming small businesses and stifling job and economic growth.
I am pleased to report that we recently had the opportunity to meet with EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt to discuss WOTUS and other issues of concern to the housing community. NAHB was one of the first groups to come out in support of your choice of Administrator Pruitt to head the EPA, and we look forward to building on the positive relationship.
NAHB would like to remain actively engaged, and work with you and your administration to implement a major infrastructure plan and comprehensive tax reform that will enable builders to construct more homes, lower effective rates for small businesses, and unleash the potential our economy has to move us into a bold and exciting future.
NAHB stands ready to do its part to support pro-business, pro-housing policies that will make America great again.
