15 U.S.C. § 3111 — Congressional findings

**(a)** The Congress finds that the Nation has suffered substantial unemployment and underemployment, idleness of other productive resources, high rates of inflation, and inadequate productivity growth, over prolonged periods of time, imposing numerous economic and social costs on the Nation. Such costs include the following: (1) The Nation is deprived of the full supply of goods and services, the full utilization of labor and capital resources, and the related increases in economic well-being that would occur under conditions of genuine full employment, production, and real income, balanced growth, a balanced Federal budget, and the effective control of inflation. (2) The output of goods and services is insufficient to meet pressing national priorities. (3) Workers are deprived of the job security, income, skill development, and productivity necessary to maintain and advance their standards of living. (4) Business and industry are deprived of the production, sales, capital flow, and productivity necessary to maintain adequate profits, undertake new investment, create jobs, compete internationally, and contribute to meeting society’s economic needs. These problems are especially acute for smaller businesses. Variations in the business cycle and low-level operations of the economy are far more damaging to smaller businesses than to larger business concerns because smaller businesses have fewer available resources, and less access to resources, to withstand nationwide economic adversity. A decline in small business enterprises contributes to unemployment by reducing employment opportunities and contributes to inflation by reducing competition. (5) Unemployment exposes many families to social, psychological, and physiological costs, including disruption of family life

(b) Private sector production and employment; effect of Federal policies In formulating the regional components of any such programs, the President shall encourage to the extent the President deems necessary, new private sector production and employment to lo- cate within depressed localities and regions with substantial unemployment and to aid in stabi- lizing their economic base. To the extent fea- sible, such policies and programs shall foster the establishment and growth of smaller businesses in such localities and regions. Any regional em- ployment proposal of the President shall also in- clude an analysis of the extent to which Federal tax, expenditure (including procurement of goods and services), defense, transportation, en- ergy, natural resources and employment policies have influenced the movement of people, jobs, and small and larger business and industries from chronic high unemployment regions and areas, and proposals designed to correct Federal policies that have an adverse economic impact upon such regions and areas.
