My bill will speed up the application process and provide operational assistance from SBA while applicants are awaiting final approval.

For struggling communities across this country, the benefits of House Resolution 3722 will be twofold.
Access to capital remains one of the toughest challenges facing our small businesses.
We can also support job growth by expanding entrepreneurs' role in clean energy fields like wind, solar, and biofuels.
House Resolution 3722 spurs investments in small manufacturers in economically struggling communities.
Today I am pleased to offer House Resolution 3722, the Enhanced New Markets and Expanded Investment in Renewable Energy for Small Manufacturers Act.
The New Markets program operates as a public-private partnership between the SBA and licensed new markets venture capital companies.
As a former member of the VACoE, I can attest that this Committee gives the Secretary of Veterans Affairs critical feedback on a benefits program that affects nearly half a million veterans each year.
H.R. 2928 is a commonsense bill which will provide America's veterans with the resources they need to join the workforce.
We have an obligation to help those who have defended our country by giving them the tools they need to rejoin the civilian workforce.
I commend the VA on its administration of the program and look forward to working with the Veterans Benefits Administration to ensure that our veterans continue to have easy access to the benefits they have earned and deserve.
This Committee's mission includes advising the Secretary of Veterans Affairs on existing education benefit programs and services.
I appreciate this opportunity to discuss my bill, H.R. 2614, the 'Veterans Advisory Committee on Education Reauthorization Act of 2009.'
This bill reauthorizes the Committee until the end of 2015, allowing it to fulfill its vital role.
The Committee is now more important than ever with veterans starting to receive education benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
You know my district. You know the challenges of reaching those communities and including the Native American communities.
Thank you, Mr. Huebner. It is so nice to see an NAU grad, and the great work that you are doing.
We need to be able to respond to what the veterans want to do once they return home, stay in touch with them, provide regular communication, especially for those in very remote rural communities.
I represent a huge rural district in Arizona. There is not really one big town. It is 84 small towns.
The Tribe also thanks the signing parties to the White Mountain Apache Water Rights Quantification Agreement for their continuous support of H.R. 1065.
I surely would hope that, should an amendment ever come before this Committee that included the Neighbors of Ann Kirkpatrick, that we would look at that and hear from them before we voted.
