"access to credit and capital is critical to small businesses and to our American economy."

"Should we have a greater emphasis on expanding capital and credit to manufacturers and, for that matter, any business that is going to improve the trade deficit?"

"I look forward to working with the Chairman to see what we can do to draft some bills to get some capital flowing until the banks can get back on line."

"With no capital available to these small businesses, we're going to have a record number of people that have either gone out, or are on the verge of going out."
