“I thank all those who spoke on this legislation, a very bipartisan, good legislation, here this afternoon on the House floor. In closing, whether it is new software system for tracking contract payments or a new medical device to help with cancer treatments, or a new piece of technology that literally saves lives on the battlefield, the SBIR and STTR programs have consistently delivered results to Federal agencies. They are worthy programs that do what they are supposed to do, but we can always do better. This legislation improves and modernizes these programs, and I ask that all of my colleagues support it. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.”
