Thanks that we all get to live and serve in the greatest country in the world.

We pray that governments would assist when it is their priority.

I thank our chairman, Mr. Roger Williams from the great State of Texas, for yielding and for his leadership. Mr. Speaker, I rise today during National Small Business Week in support of H.R. 5333, the Investing in All of America Act of…
