           THIS TAX BILL WILL HELP SMALL BUSINESS AND WORKERS

  (Mr. ENGLISH of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. ENGLISH of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I believe it is time for 
Congress to make small business stronger and more competitive, and the 
best way to do that is by passing House Resolution 1215, the Republican 
tax plan. This legislation will help small business continue its 
critical role as the largest producer of jobs in our country.
  The Republican tax plan increases the amount of capital equipment 
that a small business can expense, doubling it over a period of time to 
lower the cost of capital equipment, for cost of capital for equipment, 
used by small business. This assists cash-starved small businesses that 
need to make strategic capital investments to survive, and it 
encourages small business growth.
  What this legislation does is it makes American workers more 
productive and more internationally competitive. This legislation is 
pro small business, it is pro worker. It is time we passed it.
