Opening Statement of Chairman LaFalce
Mr. LaFalce. Good morning.
Today the committee that I chair and the Subcommittee on Crime and Criminal Justice chaired by Congressman Chuck Schumer from New York City are convening jointly here in Buffalo to take testimony on an issue which I believe is of vital importance to small businesses, the terrible effect which crime is having on our Nation's small business sector.
All of us know the vital importance of the small business sector to our Nation's economy and general well-being. Small businesses generate most of our Nation's new jobs, they employ most of the Nation's work force, they are our primary engine of innovation, and they contribute immeasurably to the vitality of our cities, our towns, our local neighborhoods.
All of us, many through grievous firsthand experience, also know of the ravages which crime is inflicting on all sectors of our society, including the business community.
