BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. PETERS. Mr. Speaker, I just want to join in and thank the gentleman from Connecticut for bringing this very commonsense piece of legislation before us. It is essential to bringing capital into our local communities and creating jobs, as Chairman Bachus mentioned. I also want to thank Chairman Bachus for his leadership on this issue.

I remember very fondly our trip to Afghanistan. It is nice that we have found common ground and that we are working today in a bipartisan fashion to make sure that our communities are strong and are vibrant and have the tools necessary to create additional jobs.

So, with that, I would certainly encourage my colleagues to support this important piece of legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.
