Roger Williams: “100,000 kids a year dropping out of the 9th grade. 100,000--that is just in Texas alone. Losing hope, don't think they…”

Not one small business has said, yeah, we need more rules and regulations. Not one.

Thank you, Chairman Williams for including this legislation in our markup today and I hope that all of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will agree that simple, clear language is a way to ensure prosperity for our small businesses.

Due to the death of my beloved wife of 41 years, Patty Williams, I was unable to be in D.C. and vote today. Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 23.

American small businesses are the engines of our economy, they are the entrepreneurs and they make America move and grow.
