Let me conclude by first thanking the gentleman from Colorado. I think, Mr. Chairman, it evidences that the appreciation for small businesses reaches from States like Texas to New York to California to Missouri to Colorado and Florida and many other places. I would ask my colleagues to support this important amendment investing in our small businesses, women-owned and minority businesses of America. Mr. Chairman, I conclude by saying I want to also thank my colleagues for my amendment being in en bloc amendment No. 4, and I will later include a statement into the Record regarding amendment No. 75. With that, I ask for support of amendment No. 52. I yield back the balance of my time.
