Perspective h* V THE SB A AND tj-^j THE FAA "fcgjg By RONALD REAGAN Caution: working for the Small Business administration can be hazardous to the health of your career. That's what the three authors of two S B.A. studies found when their reports drew con­ clusions contrary to positions taken by the Carter White House on legislation. The first case involved the Consumer Protection agency bill which died in Congress last fall for the umpteenth time. The White House was pulling out the stops for it. Esther Peterson, Mr. Carter's con­ sumer affairs adviser, was scurrying about Washington lobbying for it. When the S.B.A.'s Office of Advocacy published its report on the bill, concluding that its passage would harm small businesses, the roof fell in. The White House ordered S.B.A. Chief Vernon Weaver to write to each member of Congress affirming the agency's support for the bill. On top of that, the author of the report, Barbara Dunn, was fired. More recently, the S.B.A. for three months sat on a report critical of the current labor law "reform" bill now being debated in the Senate. Among other things, the report - again from S.B.A.'s Office of Ad­ vocacy - said the bill "would trip the delicate balance which exists between small business and labor in favor of the lat­ ter." Apparently fearing its im­ pact on the Senate, S.B.A. locked up the report until pressure from Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) proved too much. He finally got a copy a few days ago, but only after S.B.A. had attached a disclaimer to its own report, along with a nine page rebuttal by the Labor depart­ ment. As for the authors of the report that turned into a hot potato, one was "let go" when his temporary appointment ran out and the other, Office of Advocacy Director Steve Mollett, is reported by the Washingotn Post to be in fear of losing his job. The labor "reform" bill would make it easier for unions to organize workers, especially in small businesses, according to the S.B.A. report. If the bill passes, it says, "a largely unorganized management (will be) pitted against an efficient and effective union effort." Despite much sympathetic talk about small business in official Washington, President Carter's need to mend his fences with the hierarchy of organized labor seems to be several notches higher on the priority ladder these days. Meanwhile, over at the F e d e r a l A v i a t i o n a d ­ ministration, Big Brother is alive and well. A new regulation has been proposed that is so silly that one is tempted to believe it was concocted by one of those Nader Raiders who have managed to land themselves nice jobs in the regulatory agencies in recent months. This regulation stems from the fact that a few people are injured each year in airplanes because they have failed to keep their seat belts buckled in routine flights which en­ countered sudden turbulence. Although millions and millions of trouble-free passenger miles are logged every year, the F A.A. assumes that since a few people are bruised we are all too dumb to take care of ourselves. Their new proposal would require that seat belts be buckled at all times during flight, except when the passenger goes to the bathroom or gets specific authorization from a crew member?lt's easy. All you'll have to do is raise your hand (remember the first grade?) and ask the stewardess (nicely, of course), "Oh, Misf, may I please get up and stretch?" If she says "no," yo*| can always stamp your foot. i V.A. NEWS i Less than half of the eligible Vietnam era veterans in the state of Illinois have taken advantage of their GI bill educational benefits, Donald Ramsey, director of the VA regional office in Chicago, says. Slightly over 49 percent of the 416,000 eligible veterans have enrolled in some form of training. Ramsey pointed out that veterans have only 10 years from the date of discharge to use their benefits for education, and that the average age of these veterans is now nearing 33. Educational benefits must be used before the end of the ten years, so for many of those who served early in the Vietnam war the period of eligiblity has already ended. In order to get in four years of training, veterans would have to begin their schooling no later than six years after discharge. The VA director said benefits are available for college, high s c h o o l , v o c a t i o n a l , correspondence or business schools. A single veteran going to school full time now receives $311 a month from the VA as an assistance benefit toward his education. Married veterans with dependents receive $370 for one dependent, $422 for tro, and $26 for each additional dependent. Ramsey urged veterans who plan to enroll this fall in a GI Bill training program to complete their details as soon as possible in order to receive their checks after the first month of training. havt a nic« wuktnd...
