House Ways & Means Committee and Senate Finance Committee press release:

In a bipartisan and bicameral effort to bring job creation to the forefront of the tax reform debate for American businesses and families, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) issued statements today following the organizational meeting of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT).  During the meeting the two Chairmen, whose respective committees oversee the development of tax policy in Congress, instructed the Joint Committee to continue its work on tax reform and undertake specific research that will help advance the ability of the Congress to enact comprehensive tax reform that will lower tax rates and broaden the base, reduce complexity, and promote job creation.
