People must be given encouragement and incentive to remain in rural areas. Industry must be encouraged to locate in rural areas. I am cosponsoring two bills designed to develop business and employment opportunities in rural areas. smaller cities. and areas of unemployment and underdevelopment. The first provides certain preferences for prospective Government contractors in such cities and areas. This legislation proposes that in the awarding of a Government contract. credit be given for the size of the city as well as the degree of emigration. First. If the bid received is from a city of 250.000 or less. a 1percent credit is given.
