latory issues, and opportunities for joint ventures and
economic growth generating alliances between businesses

H. RES. 515
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that small business
concerns should continue to play an active role in assisting the United
States military, Federal intelligence and law enforcement agencies, and
State and local police forces by designing and developing innovative
products to combat terrorism, and that Federal, State, and local govern-

Mr. WYNN (for himself, Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas, Mrs. CHRISTENSEN, Mr.

RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
small business concerns should continue to play an active
role in assisting the United States military, Federal intel-
ligence and law enforcement agencies, and State and
local police forces by designing and developing innovative
products to combat terrorism, and that Federal, State,
and local governments should aggressively seek out and
purchase innovative technologies and services from small
business concerns to improve homeland defense and aid
in the fight against terrorism.
•HRES 515 IH
Whereas in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks perpetrated
against the United States on September 11, 2001, the
Pentagon’s Technical Support Working Group, which is
responsible for seeking new technologies to assist the
military, requested that the people of the United States
submit ideas regarding innovative methods to better fight
terrorism;
Whereas during the first 2 months after such request, more
than 12,500 ideas were submitted to the Technical Sup-
port Working Group, most of them from small business
concerns;
Whereas small business concerns remain the most innovative
sector of the United States economy, accounting for the
vast majority of new product ideas and technological in-
novations;
Whereas the participation of small business concerns in the
Federal procurement process is vital to the defense of the
United States; and
Whereas despite their achievements, small business concerns
often have difficulty marketing and supplying goods and
services to Federal, State, and local governments: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) small business concerns should continue to
play an active role in assisting the United States
military, Federal intelligence and law enforcement
agencies, and State and local police forces by design-
•HRES 515 IH
ing and developing innovative products to combat
terrorism; and
(2) Federal, State, and local governments
should aggressively seek out and purchase innovative
technologies and services from, and promote re-
search opportunities for, small business concerns to
improve homeland defense and aid in the fight
against terrorism.
