The subcommittee met at 10 a.m., in room 2359 Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. James C. Corman presiding. Present: Representatives Corman, Broyhill, and Burton. Also present: Representatives Moore and Morton of the full committee; Henry A. Robinson, subcommittee counsel; Myrtle Ruth Foutch, clerk; and John J. Williams, minority counsel. Mr. CORMAN. Good morning. The subcommittee will please come to order. Our colleague, Chairman Multer, will be delayed in being here today due to other legislative duties; namely conducting hearings of the House Banking and Currency Committee, of which he is acting chairman. Congressman Multer asked me to open these procurement hearings promptly on schedule in order that witnesses representing the various Federal departments and agencies will not have to rearrange their schedules. I would like to read Mr. Multer's opening statement. Today, the Subcommittee on Government Procurement and Economic Concentration of the House Small Business Committee opens its hearings to review the small business policies, practices, and programs of the military and major civilian procurement agencies of the Government. In annoucning these hearings, the chairman of the full committee, Representative Joe L. Evins, pointed out that the Government's requirements for goods and services continue to increase. He stated that there is therefore a need for this subcommittee to determine whether existing legislation and regulations and their implementation by procurement and contract administration officials encourage small business and enable small business to participate equitably in Government procurement. I have here a chart prepared by the subcommittee staff which illustrates the extent to which Government purchases of goods and services have mounted in the 4-year period reviewed in these hearings. Without objection it will be inserted in the record of the hearings at this point as subcommittee chart A-II. (The chart referred to follows:) Mr. CORMAN (continuing with the opening statement). The upper portion of the chart shows that military prime contract awards to all business firms for work in the United States rose from $26.9 billion in fiscal 1964 to $40.6 billion in fiscal 1967. The lower portion shows that prime contract awards by civilian agencies increased from $6.3 billion in 1964 to $7.5 billion in 1967. We can see in this chart, drawn to scale, the relative size and growth of procurements in this period by those Federal departments |
