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.
