mr. delaney: thank you, mr. speaker. i want to thank the ranking member for his support and leadership on this legislation. i also want to thank the gentleman from virginia for his support and most importantly i want to thank my friend, the gentleman from tennessee, for giving me the opportunity to co-author this piece of legislation with him. mr. speaker, emerging growth companies that raise capital from private investors have two options available to them to give their investors a return. the first option is to take the company public, and the second option is to sell the business. the data overwhelmingly suggests that when companies go public the companies are very likely to take the capital they raise in a public offering, invest it in the business, create jobs, and hire americans. as compared to when companies are sold which are often done for strategy reasons based on consolidations and often result in jobs being lost. so while companies are completely free to make whatever voice they want to make, we as policymake

mr. delaney. >> thank you mr. chairman and thank you mr. secretary for being here. i want to associate myself with the comments that congressman ross just made because i have a similar view on asset managers but i don't want to take the time on that. when i walked in i thought i heard my colleague asking you about the prioritization of debts. it seems like that's a misguided idea because the best credits in the world which obviously we should view the united states as certainly one of them never prioritize their debts. berkshire hathaway, exxon mobile, all their debts are treated the same where as weak credits are forced by the market to prioritize their debt so people know exactly what they have and when they get it paid. so it strikes me it would be a misguided idea to force the united states government into a position where it was somehow signaling to the world that we're a weak credit. very quickly if you don't mind. >> i couldn't agree more. i think that the reality is the technical question of could you pay a principal and interest. misses the point which is t

delaney. amendment 56. >> mr. quinn is recognized. >> mr. speaker, ladies and gentlemen and of the house, i have spoken to many of you about this amendment and had good conversations yesterday. i took a group mr. gillyard tommy pope i think there were 30 people that went by the confederate relic room. the purpose of my asking folks to do that was because i wanted them to understand something about where i'm coming from and also about people that aren't racist that want to remember their history. i realize that the southern cross flag that's currently on the monument has been used by racist groups. and i understand the perspective of african-americans and others who see this as a symbol of hate. for me growing up my grandfather would tell me about my great great grandfather who fought. there are people who want to think about that, their deaths. in the war 50% of the male population was killed or wounded. one-third of the male population died during the war. so slavery and the civil war left scars for everyone. and those -- there are folks ou

representative delaney is recognized on the amendment. >> i just want to -- mr. speakers i want to give folks perspective about this particular flag, if anyone in here would like to compromise show a little grace. this will be the way to do that. the confederate relic room said this is the most significant september battle flags. this is it. >> it's also the most significant flag to me personally personally, to my family. this flag was used by volunteers, thirteen different counties. it was carried through gid tisburg and coming back to sg and was displayed. but this 1 the most significant flag and this flag has never been could opted by any. >> the riche it's important to me is because it was the last battle flag my family hero ever brought. a fellow from the fire field district. he was a doctor. a graduate of the met call college in 1887. his wife died before the war. he was only 25 years old. and he insists if you read confederate mill rare at this history, the evidence which involves the south carolina troops, that he helped raise the next level. and if you r
