About this film
Committee on Small Business - mars-5:hrs05S_B2360_090312 - Rayburn 2360 - ENSURING STIMULUS CONTRACTS FOR SMALL AND VETERAN OWNED SMALL BUSINESSES - SUBCOMMITTEE ON CONTRACTING AND TECHNOLOGY. As our nation digs its way out of the current economic downturn, small businesses will be vital to our efforts. In every previous recession, small firms have acted as job creating catalysts, putting our nation back on the path to recovery and helping to revitalize our economy. Even today small businesses create 60 to 80 percent of new jobs. The recently passed Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act will provide entrepreneurs with important tools to help them again lead the nation back to prosperity. During today's hearing, we will evaluate the plans of some of the key agencies charged with administering projects under the Recovery Act. In particular, we will look at how they intend to engage veteran-owned businesses and insure that this sector receives its fair share of opportunities.
