Again, thank you, Mr. Andrews, for working with us on this. Mr. Chair, all of us who represent small manufacturers have heard the stories as they seek to compete with companies that are underpricing them from China, Asia, and across the globe. The defense dollars that we spend here on acquisition better targeted to help those small firms is part of their future salvation. Overall, I think this bill represents a tremendous opportunity for the U.S. taxpayers and for U.S. manufacturers alike. I yield back the balance of my time.
