                 SBA BILL HELD HOSTAGE BY THE DEMOCRATS

  (Mr. KIM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KIM. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I was shocked to learn that the SBA 
authorization bill was removed from the floor.
  I was even more shocked to learn that it was because of my amendment, 
my intention to offer a motion to recommit.
  My motion would simply send the message to the American people that 
the SBA should not spend any tax dollars to promote employer mandates.
  Last year the SBA spent nearly $100,000 telling small business people 
that employer mandates would be good for them.
  Why was the SBA bill removed? Could it be that the Democrat 
leadership is afraid my motion would pass?
  Could it be that the Democrat leadership knows that the American 
people do not want employer mandates?
  Every day that the SBA bill is held hostage by the Democrat 
leadership is another day that the American people are denied the truth 
about employer mandates.
  The Democrat leadership must be held accountable.
  This is day two with truth held hostage.
