On the recordFebruary 24, 1999
Whenever our government provides grants and assistance for economic development purposes, one of the strong criterion for such assistance should be the hardship of the communities needing help. While this is not totally in the purview of this bill, it may not be considered germane. If it would be, it would not be a sense of Congress. I believe it is important enough to at least have this flag of reminder to these Federal agencies who have the responsibility of granting monies to restabilize communities, that at least that reminder be present, and this amendment would serve that purpose.
