Although not widely publi
cized while Franco's premier,
and English and Canadian
prime ministers steal head
lines of metropolitan press,
there is before U.S. Senate a
most vital piece of legislation.

Senate Reso

C. W. Harder
Because Senate Resolution
No- 30 introduced by Sen. Win
ston Prouty of Vermont gives
Senate Small Business Com
mittee authority on legislative
matters affecting small busi
ness including that of reporting
out directly to the Congression
al floor legislation important
to independent business.
* * *
During last session of Cong
ress nation's independent busi
nessmen voting through the
.National Federation of Inde
pendent Business supported by
an 87'r majority this measure
which was introduced at that
time but was lost in the ses
sion’s closing day hassles over
foreign matters.
* * *
Introduced early in this ses
sion by Senator Prouty, the
Washington office of the Fed
eration. under the direction of
George Burger, vice president
in charge, discussed the mat- i
ter with other U. S. Senators. ;
* * • i
There the. developed one of I
the mo't encouraging manifes- I
tations of Congressional an
- N , M,, V.
r
ness ol the true IJ. S. domestic
problem as .13 other Senators,
almost evenly divided as to
party, joined in as co-sponsors.
Seldom in Senate’s venerable
history has a measure been so
extensively co-sponsored.
* * *
In introducing the resolution,
Senator Prouty said. •‘There
are over 4'j million small busi
nesses in this country. They
ate the most important seg- [
ment of our economy. Our j
small business community i
needs confidence. The adoption
of this resolution is sorely need
ed to build that confidence."
* *
The Senator also traced the
history of the Senate Small
business Committee.
* * *
It is widely acknowledged in
the past 15 years some of the
most solid and brilliant work in
government has been accom
! plished by the Senate Small
i Business Committee.
* * *
But as a Select Committee,
: it can only recommend to a
; Standing committee that rem
edial legislation be introduced
to the Congress. Thus action
is often delayed on vital issues
to almost the peril point.
* * *
This is not due to the mem
bers of the Senate Standing
committees being unsympa
thetic to the problems.
* * *
Instead, the delays are cre
ated by the tremendous work
load already faced by the over
burdened Standing committees
which has been aggravated by
the many foreign schemes that
ire now thrown into the hop
sers. Thus, often they lack the
ime to get the job done,
fence the vital need for pas
’ge of this measure.
