                      RENEW THE EXPORT-IMPORT BANK

  (Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York asked and was given permission 
to address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, there are just 6 
more working days before the Ex-Im Bank expires, and given the critical 
importance of this program, I thought it would be useful to provide a 
quick index of hard numbers showing what this would mean to the United 
States economy:
  Sixty--the number 60. That is the approximate number of Ex-Im credit 
agencies that are competing with us around the world that are waiting 
for our Bank to expire so they can grab that American export business.
  3,340. That is the number of small businesses that are supported 
right now by the Ex-Im Bank, helping them to export their goods and 
provide jobs.
  164,000. That is the number of American jobs that are provided right 
now this year by the Ex-Im Bank that we would lose immediately.

  1.3 million. That is the number of private sector jobs that have been 
created by the Bank since 2009, with no additional cost to the American 
taxpayer. In fact, it makes money to help us pay down our debt.
  And, finally, zero. That is what we gain by killing our Bank. Zero. 
We don't get the revenue. We don't get the jobs. We don't get to export 
our goods. Let's renew it.
