Excerpt from Regulatory Reform: Hearings Before the Committee on Governmental Affairs, United States Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session, February 7, 8, 15, and March 8, 1995 We ought to remedy past mistakes where the costs widely exceed the benefits. We ought to go back and review existing regulations and eliminate some that don't make any sense. Then we have, finally, small business relief. As I said in my statement, you get a little town out in Jewell, ks, people, and the costs are going to rise to $2 million for a new landfill. It is not going to work. Now, that is a county, but we have many small businesses that have the same problem. We incorporate Senator Bond's bill to reform the Regulatory Flexibility Act that is already law, and we do that by allowing small businesses the ability to enforce its provisions in court. So I would just say, Mr. Chairman, Senator Glenn, Senator Levin, and others who are here, that we believe this is something that ought to happen with a unanimous vote in the Committee and a unanimous vote in the Senate, and something we might pass in a day or two. You know, that would be a new record this year if we could do something in a day or two, and maybe do something more quickly than the House does. I think the Chairman has a bill that is not much different from this. There are other bills out there, and I would hope that we could move very quickly on this legislation. If I could be excused, I will go back and meet with Mr. Peres. Chairman roth. Well, thank you for being here, Senator Dole. It is the intent of the Chairman to expedite the consideration of this legislation. We are going to have immediately a series of hear ings on the various aspects of it. We expect to act on it and we have as a target the Easter recess, no later than that. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
