                        SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY

  (Ms. HAHN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. HAHN. Mr. Speaker, across the country, many people will begin 
their holiday shopping just after Thanksgiving on Black Friday and 
Cyber Monday. But Small Business Saturday, November 29, gives us an 
opportunity to celebrate and support the locally owned shops in our 
communities.
  Small businesses make our neighborhood great. They give our 
communities character and drive our local economy. I am proud to 
support our small businesses as a shopper and as a member of the 
Committee on Small Business here in Congress.
  When we shop at a small business, almost half the money we spend 
stays in our community and supports local jobs.
  So this holiday season, remember to shop small. It does big things 
for our community.
