Book Description

Excerpt from Review of the Sba Procurement Assistance Programs: Hearing Before the Committee on Small Business, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session, Washington, DC, March 2, 1995 The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:33 a.m., in room 2359-A, Raybum House Office Building, Hon. Jan Meyers (chairwoman of the committee) presiding. Chairwoman Meyers. The committee will come to order. This morning, the Committee on Small Business will be hearing testimony on the procurement assistance programs at the SBA. First, however, we are going to hear from Philip Lader, the Administrator of the SBA. As Members will recall, earlier this week the committee heard from a number - well, from three former administrators of the SBA on their historical views of the SBA's performance, mission and responsibilities. Unfortunately, Mr. Lader was unable to attend at that time. Therefore, at his request and because we want to hear the administration's overview of today's SBA, we are hearing his presentation now. Afterwards, Mr. Lader will entertain questions from the Members, and I hope he will be able to stay for at least some of the procurement assistance hearing. Chairwoman Meyers. Mr. Lader, we are glad to have you with us. Testimony of Philip Lader, Administrator Of The Small Business Administration; Accompanied By Mary Jean Ryan, Senior Finance Executive; Patricia Forbes, Senior Finance Executive; Robert Neal, Associate Deputy Administrator; Robert Stillman, Associate Administrator For Investment; Marty Teckler, Deputy General Counsel; Doris Freedman, Deputy Chief Counsel For Advocacy; Berkie Kulik, Associate Administrator For Disaster Assistance; And Douglas Criscitello, Deputy Administrator For Management And Administration Mr. Lader. Madam Chair, thank you very, very much for this opportunity to come today and to add our thoughts to what my predecessors provided to you. Congressmen, counsel, to others who will be joining you, let me introduce, if I might, my colleagues who are here who will be available to respond to particular questions.
