On the recordFebruary 1, 1996
I am pleased that this conference report contains a new initiative to assist in the development of capital funds for small businesses. This telecommunications development fund will provide low-interest loans to small businesses with $50 million or less through up-front spectrum auction payments. I would like to thank the leadership of the committee for bringing this momentous legislation forward and for supporting my efforts to assist small businesses.
