It is already covered in current law, so why do we need this amendment? Well, it is a messaging piece to be able to say to the listening audience that we support small business. Well, gosh, I think we have answered that question here on this side whether or not they really do support small business. It is clear they support big business, and that is what this amendment is going to help facilitate without adding to the overall bill. For that reason, I ask that we oppose it. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Chabot). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 4 Offered by Ms. Velazquez The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 4 printed in part A of House Report 115-2.
