I have previously supported the Export-Import Bank.

Clearly, this is an industry that is an important driver of our economy in terms of not only the growth of the economy but also the creation of jobs.

We know that this is a big challenge for our country, in terms of our developing lots of great technology.

I think about where do we stand vis a vis other countries in terms of our tax code.

I want to thank Chairwoman Cantwell for holding this hearing to discuss the challenges facing domestic and global competition in aviation manufacturing.

More than 80 percent of the banks' financing benefits major firms.
