I thank the chairman.

They've been struggling over the past several years since our what was almost a depression, and they're small businesses. I'm talking about businesses of 10 people, 30 people, 100 people. This is predominantly a small business venture, and we all have them in our communities. I would urge a ``no'' vote, although I do respect the gentleman from Michigan and many of his endeavors.
