Excerpt from The Administration's Program to Enhance Credit Availability: Hearing Before the Committee on Small Business, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, Washington, DC, June 16, 1993

The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:20 a.m., in room 2359-A, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. John J. LaFalce (chairman of the committee) presiding.

Chairman LaFalce. The Small Business Committee will come to order.

Before we open our proceedings this morning, I would like to call on the ranking minority member, Mrs. Meyers, for the introduction of a new member.

Mrs. Meyers. Yes; I would like to introduce Rob Portman, from Ohio, who is a new member of the Small Business Committee. We are very pleased to have him with us. We are working on his subcommittees right now, and I am sure he is going to be an outstanding member of the committee, and, Rob, you might tell us a tiny bit about your background. I dont know whether you came here as legislator, businessman, or what.

Mr. Portman. Thank you.

First of all, thanks for welcoming me and thank you, Mr. Chairman, for welcoming me to the committee. I am excited to be here. I do have a small business background in the sense that I grew up in a small business family. My father started a business with three other people on borrowed money some 32 years ago, and that business is now a successful undertaking in my district that employs about 250 people.

So, I grew up kind of around the kitchen table talking about small business and its concerns. I went into the legal business and represented a lot of small businesses in Cincinnati. I also spent 2 years, the first 2 years of the Bush administration, in legislative affairs and as Associate Counsel to the President, so I have some Washington experience, and, again, I am just thrilled to be here and to be a part of the committee. Thank you.

Mrs. Meyers. Glad to have you.

Chairman LaFalce. Thank you very much, Mr. Portman. We are extremely pleased at your election.
