I thank Chairman Smith and Ranking Member Thornberry for including amendment No. 341 in the en bloc package. Madam Chair, I rise in strong support of amendment No. 341. This bipartisan amendment introduced by Representative Schneider and me will fully authorize the Boots to Business program, which ensures that our veterans and their spouses receive essential education on how to start and grow their own small businesses. In the same way that we give our troops the tools that they need for service, we must also prepare our veterans for civilian life. This program has received broad support from many of our veterans, and I strongly encourage my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to come together in support of this bipartisan amendment and give our veterans the training that they deserve.
