Julian Bond: “On behalf of the more than 600,000 small business owners of the National Federation of Independent Business, I urge all…”

On the recordMarch 7, 1996
On behalf of the more than 600,000 small business owners of the National Federation of Independent Business, I urge all your colleagues to support S. 942, the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. The Bond-Bumpers legislation includes important provisions that have been top priorities for NFIB members for many years. It also includes provisions that were recommended by small business owners at the 1995 White House conference on small business. It then goes on to describe it. It says, in closing, "The vote on S. 942 will be a key small business vote of the 104th Congress." I see my colleague from Arkansas is on the floor so I yield the floor.

I don't think so. I think this -- in African-American communities, like every other community in the country, the tide is shifting, people are thinking differently.
