           HELPING VETERAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS MEN AND WOMEN

  (Mr. WATKINS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WATKINS. Madam Speaker, today, the House came together to pass 
H.R. 190, led by my friend and colleague from Kansas' Big First, Dr. 
Roger Marshall. This act helps service-disabled, veteran-owned small 
business men and women.
  The path of the American veteran is tough. So is the path of the 
small business man. Where those paths intersect are the people, 
innovation, and drive that make America the greatest country in the 
world.
  This legislation not only helps veterans but helps us all through 
economic growth and through job creation.
  When an American veteran finds his or her new mission, identity, and 
team in a small business, we got your 6.
