On the recordAugust 1, 2011
It doesn't appear that I have any other speakers on this side. I think their attention might be directed in another direction today; so I am prepared to close. Again, Mr. Speaker, I want to thank all of the individuals, all of the Members, all of the staff who have played a part in crafting this compromise. It's a good bipartisan compromise that we can all live with. I look forward to the President signing it into law after the Senate passes it, hopefully very soon, and hopefully our small businesses will be able to continue to be profitable. I yield back the balance of my time.
