            HOUSE COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

                               ON

 H.R. 4326 - SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1981


 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:

     We are pleased to be here today to discuss GAO's work on

small businesses and innovation and to comment on the Small

Business Innovation Development Act of 1981, H.R. 4326, as re-

ported by the House Small Business Committee.  In addition, we

will comment on selected sections of S. 881, the Senate counter-

part measure passed by the Senate on December 8, 1981.  Both of

these bills would increase the use of small businesses in meeting

Federal research and development needs by the creation of indi-

vidual, agency-sponsored, small business innovation research

programs (SBIRs) to foster innovation by small businesses.

SMALL BUSINESSES AND INNOVATION

     It is clear from the work we have done in the area of small

businesses and innovation that small businesses have been impor-

tant contributors to the innovation process in this country.
