Political Quotes

“In closing, I would note again that we have bipartisan work on this committee.

Mrs. Murphy, of course, is from Florida, and Mr. Bacon is from Nebraska. I think the Microloan program really is an important tool in the SBA's capital access toolbox, but it is in need of modernizing, and H.R. 2056 does that.

We just need to provide the correct environment for that growth to take place, and I think this is something that will contribute towards that possibility and, therefore, be able to create more jobs for more Americans all across the country. Mr. Speaker, I would urge my colleagues to support H.R. 2056, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Chabot) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 2056, as amended. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________”
