Speaker, this bill under consideration is a small but significant
step to help companies increase worker ownership to help improve the
overall equity of our economy. I hope that this bill, along with the
other two coming to the floor later this week, are the start of
something. I hope they are a sign that this body will actually consider
meaningful, bipartisan, practical, and commonsense legislation to
address the issues the American people sent us to Washington to fix:
creating jobs, growing our economy, reforming our Tax Code, and fixing
our broken immigration system. I hope my colleagues support the underlying legislation, H.R. 1343,
oppose the rule, and defeat the previous question so I can bring
forward not only the employee stock ownership rule, but also the
Paycheck Fairness Act here on Equal Pay Day across America so that we
can make sure as we are talking about making sure that women receive
the same cash and ownership in recognition of their efforts as
employees across the country. This bill will hopefully pass overwhelmingly.
