On the recordJune 27, 1997
I rise to ask if the chairman can clarify for me whether this bill includes a provision that provides the "brownfields" benefits for supplemental empowerment zones. As a former mayor, I am very committed to promoting economic growth in our urban area. The "brownfields" provision will be significant in the City of Los Angeles' effort to turn abandoned, vacant or underutilized industrial or commercial properties back into productive use. Can the chairman confirm that, under the Senate tax bill, brownfields remediation incentives are also extended to supplemental empowerment zones?
