CHAPTER 3--GENERAL PROVISIONS
Sec. 304. Participation by small business enterprises
It is declared to be in the national interest to encourage and
develop the actual and potential capacity of small business and to
utilize this important segment of our economy to the fullest practicable
extent in construction of the Federal-aid highway systems, including the
Interstate System. In order to carry out that intent and encourage full
and free competition, the Secretary should assist, insofar as feasible,
small business enterprises in obtaining contracts in connection with the
prosecution of the highway program.
