At 11:30 a.m., Brammo President Craig Bramscher will join Senator Wyden for a press availability on legislation that will extend and streamline a tax credit to help consumers and the electric motorcycle industry.

At 12:30 p.m., Wyden will address the need for reforming the federal tax code in a speech to Ashland Rotary. Wyden is co-sponsor with Sen. Dan Coates, R-IN, of legislation that would lower tax rates, eliminate tax breaks, and avoid The Fiscal Cliff the country faces on January 1, 2013. The Ashland Rotary meets at the First United Methodist Church, Wesley Hall, 175 N. Main Street, in Ashland.
At 2 p.m., Wyden will speak to the annual Southern Oregon Rehabilitation Clinics and Centers Celebration of Women Veterans. The event will be held at the Red Lion, 200 North Riverside Avenue, Medford.
