“I would just like to say to Ranking Member Ehlers that this is about small businesses, and we want to make sure that small businesses have the ability to compete, especially when it comes to highly technical fields. In many cases it is extraordinarily hard to get the capital that they need, and allowing small businesses to take advantage of venture capital companies is the way. But it is my every intention to direct this completely to small businesses. Again, I appreciate the concerns and I very much thank the chairwoman and Ranking Member Chabot for working with me, and encourage my colleagues to support the amendment.”
