Political Quotes

“I have no other speakers and I am prepared to close, so I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bipartisan legislation. As our Nation's small businesses continue to face numerous capital access challenges, the SBA's existing government guarantee loan programs must be prepared to provide assistance. This bill, H.R. 8211, does just that by expanding the 504/CDC Loan Program's economic development goals and enhancing the program for small manufacturers. This program has a proven record of the success, and the improvements that this legislation delivers will continue this track record into the future. I ask for my colleagues' support, and I yield back the balance of my time.”
