“I proposed H.R. 2773 as a regulatory relief bill for two of America's many entrepreneurs. H.R. 2773 extends the construction license for two hydroelectric plants in North Carolina. Extending these deadlines allows these two individuals to participate in the fastest growing sector of our economy, small business. For example, Mr. Daniel Evans of Kings Mountain, N.C., a constituent of mine, has successfully worked to raise the capital on his own--no government handouts--and line up the purchasing of the land for this noteworthy project. This example of self-initiative shows that the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in America. I thank my colleagues in the House for voting for H.R. 2773 and showing their support for the small businessmen and businesswomen of this country. I also want to thank House Commerce Committee Chairman Thomas Bliley, Commerce Energy and Power Subcommittee Chairman Dan Schaefer, and Representative Richard Burr of North Carolina for all of their assistance in bringing H.R. 2773 to the House floor. Their tireless efforts are greatly appreciated by myself and all of the citizens of North Carolina who will benefit by having this added source of hydroelectric energy for their use.”
