Bob Wise: “I thank my friend and colleague, the gentleman from Ohio [Mr.…”

On the recordMay 12, 1994

I thank my friend and colleague, the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Traficant] not only for his inquiry but for all of his efforts to reauthorize EDA and the Appalachian Regional Commission. He has certainly been a leader of our committee's efforts to improve these economic development programs. At the gentleman from Ohio's suggestion, the substitute amendment allows public and private nonprofit organizations to be eligible recipients of EDA grants. By expanding the number of eligible organizations, Congress will increase competition for EDA funding and will result in better services being provided to distressed communities. Again I thank the gentleman for his foresight on this issue.
