                   EXPORT-IMPORT BANK REAUTHORIZATION

  (Ms. KUSTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KUSTER. Mr. Speaker, earlier this month, I was honored to bring 
together New Hampshire business leaders to discuss the importance of 
the Export-Import Bank and to call for its immediate reauthorization.
  I thank leaders from BAE, Boyle Energy, Conductive Components, and 
other Granite State employers for joining this important discussion on 
how supporting U.S. exports grows our economy and creates good jobs 
here at home.
  The Export-Import Bank provides essential risk management services to 
American businesses selling their products in an unstable global 
economy. Dozens of Granite State firms have used these services, which 
have supported over $350 million in New Hampshire exports in recent 
years, and in New Hampshire's Second Congressional District, the top 
destination for American exports is China.
  Because of the Export-Import Bank, more consumers across the world 
are buying goods stamped ``Made in America,'' and more American 
families are able to make it here in America. Granite State exporters, 
like Mountain Corporation, Arch Energy, and Centorr Vacuum are counting 
on Congress to act, but time is running out.
  In just over 2 months, authorization for the bank will expire, and I 
have heard from New Hampshire exporters who are already losing business 
because of uncertainty over the bank's future.
  So let's renew this commonsense program that grows our economy, 
reduces the budget deficit, and helps create jobs.
