Thank you, Madam Chairman.

I am pleased that the SBA has been elevated to a Cabinet position, so congratulations on that.

Everybody who is rejected come to us and we will work with you on a bank package.

I consider it the most military-friendly state in the nation.

Without objection. And I would like to be recognized for a similar request.

I support the administration and strongly believe that in order to provide companies and consumers with legal certainty, we need to enact a comprehensive, flexible and balanced Federal consumer privacy law.

I feel strongly a national baseline privacy law is the best way to ensure consumers have basic common sense and permanent rights over the collection and use of their information.

Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I have the honor tonight of representing the budget that is endorsed by Simpson and Bowles. This is the only bipartisan budget that the House of Representatives will be able to…

Mr. Chairman, I would now like to yield 1 minute to my friend, the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Wolf), who actually helped me with the original Cooper-Wolf legislation that helped spawn the Simpson-Bowles Commission. Mr. LaTOURETTE. Mr…

Mr. Chairman, if no one else is seeking time, I would like to yield 1\1/2\ minutes to my friend from Oregon (Mr. Schrader) who, along with Mr. Quigley, Mr. Lipinski, and Mr. Costa, have been invaluable partners in pushing for the…
