 MARKUP OF SEMIANNUAL REPORT ON THE ACTIVITY OF THE COMMITTEE ON SMALL

                              ----------                              


                        Wednesday, June 27, 2012

                          House of Representatives,
                               Committee on Small Business,
                                                    Washington, DC.
    The Committee met, pursuant to call, at 1:05 p.m., in Room 
2360, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Sam Graves [Chairman 
of the Committee] presiding.
    Present: Representatives Graves, Chabot, Mulvaney, Tipton, 
West, Ellmers, Hanna, Schilling, Hahn, and Owens.
    Chairman Graves. The first order of business before the 
Committee, before we commence with our regular hearing, is 
consideration of the Semiannual Report on the Activity of the 
Committee on Small Business which is required by the House 
rules. The Committee now moves to the consideration of the 
Semiannual Activity Report, and the clerk will please read the 
document.
    The Clerk. Semiannual Report on the Activity of the 
Committee on Small Business, second session of the 112th 
Congress.
    Chairman Graves. Without objection, the activity report is 
going to be considered as read and open for amendment in its 
entirety except for those provisions of this document that have 
already been approved on and voted on by the Committee.
    [The Activity Report follows.]
    Chairman Graves. Seeing no objections to that, so ordered. 
And does any member seek recognition for the purpose of 
offering an amendment?
    Seeing none, the question is on adopting the Semiannual 
Report.
    All those in favor, say aye.
    All those opposed, no.
    It is the opinion of the chair that the ayes have it. The 
Semiannual Report is adopted.
    So without objection, the staff of the Committee is 
authorized to correct section numbers, punctuation, cross 
references, and to make other technical and conforming 
corrections necessary to accurately reflect the action of the 
Committee in this measure. And without any objection there, it 
is so ordered. And with that, the markup is adjourned and we 
will move on to the regular hearing.
    [Whereupon, at 1:07 p.m., the committee proceeded to other 
business.]
