The group, known as the Illinois Ambassadors, is a network of leading businessmen who will speak on behalf of the state. The measure is expected to expand the state's efforts at attracting business. "Illinois Ambassadors was incorporated this summer and has an eight-member board of directors picked by the Illinois Development Board, a group that advises the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (DCCA) on key development matters," Thompson said. The governor said the goal has three primary goals: retain existing Illinois firms, en­ couraging expansion; promoting Illinois in the country and as a market place in the Midwest; and organizing and hosting international business and labor delegations. Memberships in Illinois Ambassadors are being sold to meet the group's first-year goal of raising $100,000. The money will be used to establish a net­ work of contacts among business executives and cor­ porations. "We are confident that by having • private sector spokesmen who can discuss our virtues, particularly overseas, the number of companies moving to Illinois or expanding here will increase significan­ tly," Thompson said. rand opening Plaindealer photo by Anthony Oliver Business briefs The U.S. Senate recently approved legislation which would increase small business participation in the federal procurement process. The measure, known as the "Small Business Competition Enhancement Act of 1984," was approved by a 94-0 vote. The legislation was sponsored by Sen. Alan Dixon, D-ni. "This legislation will reduce the costly, noncompetitive approach to procurement used all , too often by the federal agencies," Dixon said. "Small businesses are ready to produce materials competitively, but are hampered by the 'old boy net­ work' way of doing things." In its major provisions the bill: -Limits the extent to which federal agencies can use prequalification requirements to restrict open competition. The government must justify the need for prequalification. -Clearly identifies the government's right to possess the technical data underlying purchased materials if that data was developed at public expense rather than private. -Increases the amount of information regarding bid notices that must be published in the "Commerce Business Daily." "If this bill becomes law, small business in Illinois and across the country will have the chance to show that they are able to produce excellent por- ducts for the government at competitive pricses," he said. The measure is now referred to a conference committee betewwn the House and Senate.
