Formally authorizing the Department of Homeland Security's mentor-protege program will ensure the continued success of this important small business program. DHS is to be commended in its earliest days for setting this program up. I thank the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. McEachin) for introducing this bill to help grow partnerships between small businesses and DHS. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 4727, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentlewoman from Michigan (Ms. Slotkin) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 4727. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
