"Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 2072, the ``Securing American Jobs Through Exports Act of 2011.'' This legislation reauthorizes for three years the charter and lending authority of the Export-Import Bank of the United States. In addition, the legislation contains several financial reforms that will help ensure the ``Ex-Im Bank'' remains fiscally sound so it may continue its outstanding record supporting American business increase export sales, which is perhaps the best way to preserve and increase high value manufacturing and service jobs."
