"The SBIR program ensures that small businesses have an opportunity to conduct R&D for federal agencies, including Defense agencies."

"I recently convened a meeting with my Small Business Advisory Council in New Hampshire and there were a number of issues raised that I would like to discuss."

"On the Senate Small Business Committee, we recently held hearing on this issue so we can get started on a bill to make the program permanent."

"I agree that that should be a priority for us."
