David Wu: “This bill, I think, will be the first important jobs legislation done by this Congress.”

It is no secret that our constituents are looking to us for non-partisan jobs legislation. I think SBIR is our first and best foot forward.

In this endeavor, failure is not an option.

I truly believe that small businesses are the key to getting our economy back on track and maintaining the technological leadership of the United States in the future.

I would like to believe we learned a lesson that endless waiting and jockeying benefits no one, least of all small business owners across America.
