A few hours after the House of Representatives passed the sweeping tax legislation, AT&T announced that it would invest an additional $1 billion in the United States next year and pay a special $1,000 bonus to more than 200,000 AT&T employees during the holiday.

“Congress, working closely with the President, took a monumental step to bring taxes paid by U.S. businesses in line with the rest of the industrialized world,” Randall Stephenson, AT&T chairman and CEO said in a statement.
