Steve Chabot

We want to thank Ms. Meng for welcoming us to her district here today, and look forward to working with you in a bipartisan manner as we continue in the Congress.

Trade is absolutely critical to the American economy, and that is one of the things we have tried to address this afternoon.

I would like to thank Chairman Chabot and Representative Meng for holding this hearing in Queens and all the witnesses for being here today.

The vast majority of manufacturing is done by small businesses, by small manufacturers.

She has that same sort of relationship also in working very hard for her constituents.

He wants to get the job done. And he works extremely hard.

Helping our small businesses grow is not a partisan issue, and we strive to work together in that regard.

Time and time again I have been impressed with the tenacity, she has for defending and supporting small businesses.

It passed, and the President signed it into law last year. So veterans get a break if they want to start up a business.

We did pass some legislation that I have introduced in the Small Business Committee recently. It is called the Veterans Entrepreneurship Act.

I think it is a bit of a generational thing.

Perhaps we need to legislatively at the State level or whatever to work on it.

I agree with everything he said. And it is absolutely our responsibility to make sure that our veterans are getting the highest quality care possible.

I thank the gentleman from Ohio for his very nice remarks. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Florida, Dr. Ileana Ros- Lehtinen.

I thank Mr. Scott for his tribute to our colleague and friend, Mike Oxley. I learned something here this evening. I did not know that I had Mr. Scott's brother-in-law's picture up on my wall. He was here in Washington 15 years ago or so…

I thank the gentleman. This is a bipartisan evening, so I would now like to recognize our colleague, the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. David Scott).

I want to commend you for bringing this important timely legislation before the subcommittee today.

We ought to change our policy.

I introduced H. Con. Res. 88 last fall. This legislation reaffirms that Taiwan Relations Act and the six assurances together form the cornerstone of U.S. relations with Taiwan.

I congratulate her and the people of Taiwan for their continued support of democracy.

It is an insult to Taiwan and the United States should change this immediately.
