                           HON. TONY P. HALL

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 5, 1994

  Mr. HALL of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, small businesses are part of the 
American dream. In our country, every man or woman can set up a 
company, make a product, sell a service, and hire staff. Small 
businesses employ about 54 percent of the private work force, 
contribute 52 percent of all sales, and create half of all products 
produced by the private sector. Small businesses are a critical element 
of the economy of our Nation.
  Help we can offer to encourage small businesses is help to our 
economic future. That's why the Small Business Awards Program of the 
Dayton Business Reporter is so important. This program recognizes small 
entrepreneurial companies for their contributions to our local and 
national economies. Recently, the Dayton Business Reporter announced 
the 20 nominees for the 1994 awards program, the second year of the 
program.

Business Development Center [SBDC], WHIO-TV, and Mead Data Central as
