Against the backdrop of renewed attention in Washington on
multinational tax issues, company executives and tax counsel have an
opportunity to learn about the latest international tax policy
developments affecting their businesses. Top officials with the 30-nation
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which is playing
an increasingly important role in international tax deliberations, will
join senior U.S. officials at a two-day conference organized by the
United States Council for International Business (USCIB).

    This event is the latest in a regular series of conferences focusing on
the OECD's key role in global tax matters. The event provides insight
into how the Paris-based OECD, which groups the world's most advanced
industrialized nations, influences tax policies worldwide, and how
business can engage with it. The full agenda and additional information
is available at www.uscibtax.org.

    USCIB promotes open markets, competitiveness and innovation, sustainable
development and corporate responsibility, supported by international
engagement and prudent regulation. Its members include top U.S.-based
global companies and professional services firms from every sector of our
economy, with operations in every region of the world. With a unique
global network encompassing leading international business organizations,
USCIB provides business views to policy makers and regulatory authorities
worldwide, and works to facilitate international trade and investment.
