There is no question that we need to support our small businesses across the country, no matter their location or industry, when they are attempting to break into international commerce. Today's bill leverages the unique position and knowledge of the SBA's Office of Advocacy to amplify the voice of small firms in international settings. I commend Congressman Comer and Congresswoman Adams in taking the important step to break down international barriers for small entrepreneurs entering into the world of trade. Mr. Speaker, I urge Members to support this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
