I hope you will take into consideration small States like New Hampshire where the volume may not be as great...

I was also disappointed to hear that the department proposes to eliminate NIST's Manufacturing Extension Partnership.

I think that American businesses, when they have a level playing field, can compete with any other business in the world, and I think those efforts to address dumping cases are very important.
