I think the support that the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Weldon] has given as well as the gentleman from Georgia [Mr. Kingston] for our products liability reform legislation will go a long way in helping businesses. As the gentleman from Georgia [Mr. Kingston] just talked about, we certainly need to have less regulation. Another area I would like to have us consider, not only the regulatory reform and legal reform but what about making sure we provide those investment tax credits, the research and development tax credits, which will encourage businesses to expand, produce and hire and not have those jobs go overseas but keep those jobs here in America for companies and employees who really want to make sure that we grow. That I think along with reform dealing with the ability to obtain credit, I think we can keep our businesses viable here in the country and move along.
