On the recordJuly 23, 1997

I, too, am concerned that rural entrepreneurs do not have the same kind of access to capital markets as do their nonrural counterparts. I am also aware of concerns raised by various groups in regards to my esteemed colleague's amendment. I believe a hearing will offer the opportunity to vet all points of view. It is my intent that the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry hold a hearing on rural and agricultural credit as soon as possible in the hopes that we can find a timely solution to this problem.
