Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the rule and the underlying bill, and I want to thank the gentlelady from Maine for yielding time.

All of us know that small businesses have been the backbone of the American economy. All of us know businesses that started as single individuals, single family, using their creativity, developing opportunities for not only themselves but for others.

The basic thing that small businesses need right now is access to capital, lines of credit, the opportunity to grow and expand. This bill provides exactly that. And I know that there are thousands of small businesses in my State and in my community simply waiting so that they can go to a bank and get the line of credit that they need, get the small business loan that they must have.
