Let me ask you, if I can, Ms. Hulit, about your announcement today.

Veteran employment is a very important issue, because it's a challenge for the country.

We really appreciate what SBA does, and we know that keying in on the veterans' needs... is really going to pay big dividends for everybody.

One of the things we're trying to do is get that unemployment rate down with our Guard and Reserve folks and also try to open opportunities, either professional opportunities, starting your own business, credentialing opportunities, and…

You know, those guys in the Arkansas Guard are great, because back home, they're plumbers and welders and school teachers and electricians and car mechanics. There's really nothing they can't do.

So we've gone through this discussion, and I know that some of this may have prompted other ideas or suggestions or stories on your part.

I try to do a small business savings account, like an IRA

Senator Pryor has really encouraged us to take a good hard look at that

I know, Ms. Nelson, you mentioned something that you have--I think it's Boots to Business--at Little Rock Air Force Base.

Let me ask a follow-up on that, if I can. I know that all of you have gone to the SBA for one thing or another.

It is critically important that... the DOD and VA are already providing education assistance to our service members and veterans.

We just appreciate everything that our veterans have done for our nation.
