§ 3117. Capital formation
(a) Congressional findings
The Congress finds that—
(1) promotion of full employment and bal-

high and sustained rates of capital formation;
(2) high rates of capital formation are nec-
essary to ensure adequate rates of capacity ex-
pansion and productivity growth, compliance
with governmental health, safety and environ-
mental standards, and the replacement of ob-
solete production equipment;
(3) the ability of our economy to compete
successfully in international markets, the de-
velopment of new technology, improved work-
ing conditions, expanding job opportunities,
and an increasing standard of living depend on
the availability of adequate capital at reason-
able cost to commerce and industry;
(4) an important goal of national policy shall
be to remove obstacles to the free flow of re-
sources into new investment, particularly
those obstacles that hinder the creation and
growth of smaller businesses because general
national programs and policies to aid and
stimulate private enterprise are not sufficient
to deal with the special problems and needs of
smaller businesses; and
(5) while private business firms are, and
should continue to be, the major source of in-
vestment, the investment activities of the
Federal, State, and local governments play an
important role in affecting the level of output,
employment, and productivity and in achiev-
ing other national purpos
