                     MAKE 199A DEDUCTION PERMANENT

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
Minnesota (Mrs. Fischbach) for 5 minutes.
  Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, President Trump's 2017 tax package 
created section 199A, a 20 percent small business deduction to help 
small businesses and family farms like those in my district. In fact, 
three out of four small business employers in this country have 
benefited from this tax provision.
  Unfortunately, this deduction is one of many set to expire this year. 
The National Federation of Independent Business has circulated a 
petition, which has over 100,000 signatures, urging Congress to make 
this vital tax deduction permanent and stop a massive tax hike on our 
small businesses.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to listen to our local 
businessowners and join me in supporting making the 199A deduction 
permanent.
