William F. Goodling: “Let me point out, here is what the Democrats said they were doing for…”

On the recordMay 23, 1996

Let me point out, here is what the Democrats said they were doing for small business in 1989, from the committee report, agreed to by many of the Democrats speaking here today. They said: Small enterprises whose total volume of sales or business done is less than $500,000 would no longer be covered. In eliminating several confusing tests to determine applicability of the act to various industries, the committee continues to demonstrate its support for the principle of a true small business exemption. That is what Democrats said in 1989, when we had the small business discussion. That is what I am saying today, exactly what they said then. I have not changed my stripes.
