                               H.R. 1694

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 16, 2015

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, earlier today I asked unanimous consent 
that my name be removed as a co-sponsor of H.R. 1694.
  I urged a change in the language to strengthen support for our 
veteran business owners by establishing a dedicated funding stream. 
Unfortunately the bill sponsor declined to make this change.
  I urge my colleagues to instead support H.R. 3997 which would much 
more effectively ensure that our veteran business owners have the 
opportunity to compete and succeed.
