On the recordOctober 16, 1998
Yes, we expect it would. The situation the Senator describes is exactly the type of situation that we would expect could be addressed by EDA. In fact, I would direct the senator's attention to the bill's new Section 2(a)(1), which specifically references areas that are affected by Federal actions. The language notes as possible distressed areas those that suffer dislocation as a result of ``certain Federal actions (including environmental requirements that result in the removal of economic activities from a locality).''
