                CELEBRATING NATIONAL SMALL BUSINESS WEEK

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Madam Speaker, I rise to celebrate National Small

jobs in the U.S. every year. Unfortunately, our small businesses have 
been through the wringer this year. With coronavirus and overreaching 
government regulations, especially in States like California, now more

time.
  If we want to get America's economy back on track to be the greatest 
in the world, it starts with support for our small businesses. They are 
the key to propelling America's prosperity forward.
