“I thank the gentleman for yielding and compliment him on his very thoughtful amendment, and appreciate the support of the other side of the aisle. This amendment is aimed at supporting the growth of small and medium- sized businesses and easing the sometimes daunting task of figuring out just what new legislation will mean to them. This amendment requires the SEC to provide online information and, perhaps more importantly, outreach to small and medium-sized businesses, businesses owned by women, minorities, and veterans. It is widely recognized that such businesses face a unique set of challenges. We should be doing everything we can to encourage their growth and supporting their success. Again, I compliment the hard work and really meaningful amendment that my friend from the great State of Iowa has put forth, and I urge unanimous support of it and appreciate the support of the other side of the aisle.”
