I yield myself an additional 30 seconds. To sum up this bill, it will make it just a bit easier for some companies to raise funds in our capital markets, enabling them to grow their businesses. But make no mistake, I believe that this Congress still needs to do more on jobs. In addition to these legislative changes that enable capital formation, we need to keep teachers, police officers, and firefighters on the job; extend unemployment insurance for laid-off workers; and revitalize neighborhoods devastated by foreclosures. A truly comprehensive approach is needed to get Americans working again, and I hope my colleagues are willing to work with me on these issues. I reserve the balance of my time.
