These purchases sustain thousands of American companies who rely on exports and put food on the table of hardworking men and women employed by them. In my district alone. there are 19 companies that in recent years have utilized the ExIm Bank to export goods overseas. These companies range from Gulfstream. a leading manufacturer of aircraft. to Strength of Nature. a company founded by immigrants who fled the Castro regime and started a company that now exports many of their goods to the Caribbean and to Africa. The ExIm Bank helps businesses. big and small. across America to compete with the competitors abroad by leveling the playing field. With over 60 government export credit agencies currently active around the world. including every modern industrialized economy. allowing the Bank to expire is tantamount to unilaterally disarming ourselves in the competition for big contracts around the globe.
