“Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 30 seconds. Here is another poll that I'm going to cite that will support what this administration's own Small Business Administration has found about the cost of these regulations. This is an article by the Gallup Poll. The article is dated October 24, 2011, just a few weeks ago. Here's the headline on the article: ``Government Regulations at Top of Small- Business Owners' Problem List. One in three small business owners are worried about going out of business.''

I will now yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Coble), who is the chairman of the Courts, Commercial and Administrative Law Subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee.”
