     SUPPORT EXTENSION OF HEALTH-CARE DEDUCTION FOR SMALL BUSINESS

  (Mrs. MEYERS of Kansas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MEYERS of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, I am extremely disappointed that 
Congress has not found the opportunity to reenact the 25-percent 
deduction for health care for small business. This is not an issue that 
would take explaining.
  It has been in the law since 1986. Everyone understands. Ways and 
Means could meet, and we could bring this issue to the floor under 
suspension, and it could be done in a matter of hours.
  My bill to extend has over 200 signatures, and if you are not a 
cosponsor, please call. This is the most important issue to small 
business, the farmers, the self-employed.
  If we do not do this until February, it will mean expense and hassle 
and confusion for a great many small business people who have already 
done their income tax and will have to file an amended return.
  Please, cosponsor H.R. 5062. Please, help me get this to the floor 
sometime today.
