This merger is very likely illegal. The parties know it.

We ought to be spending that tax for the purpose for which it was created.

I was thinking about the Small Business Development Centers. They are very valuable entities.

I am committed to ensuring that hazing in our Nation's military is addressed by the Department of Defense.

I agree that our tax code is complicated for small businesses to navigate.

I view this modest amendment as a bare minimum change necessary to the NSA regime in light of what the public now knows about government surveillance.

the guidance does not apply to profiling based on religion and national origin. This is problematic because profiling based on religion or nationality is significantly increasing.

It would be a great step forward if the DoJ guidance on racial profiling were amended to include a ban on discrimination on the basis of religion or national origin.

Thank you very much for the personal introduction.

I asked my questions and so, yeah.

While the U.S. remains one of the most productive nations per manufacturing employee, offshoring has resulted in a loss of approximately 7.8 factory jobs since 1979.

I would like to submit two items into the record.

I strongly support the efforts of the Committee in ensuring that small businesses receive a greater share of government contracts.

Last year, the Small Business Subcommittee on Contracting and Workforce had an insightful hearing on the negative impact that unjustified contract bundling and consolidation has on small businesses.

I strongly support this concept of increasing the contracting goal for women-owned small businesses from 5 to 6 percent.

Increasing this contracting goal to 6 percent will give women-owned small businesses the opportunity to access billions more in federal contracts.

I just want to thank Congresswoman Chu for this amendment.

By granting a larger share of government contracts to women-owned small businesses, we will encourage women in the workforce to start their own firms.

So I think that is an example of where government can be helpful to private industry just by trying to clarify what the rules are, who is subject to regulation, and under what conditions are they going to be regulated.

Most complex problems can't be solved with simple solutions.

We can't fix that problem by sealing the border and turning our back on our history as a country that was founded by people who were themselves fleeing persecution.
