Presnal speaks at breakfast;
small-businessmen organize
by JED T. YOUNG
The most effective lobbyist is not
the professional special interest
group leader but the informed con
stituent, said state representative
Bill Presnal.
Presnal spoke Thursday morning
at the Chamber of Commerce break
fast held for Bryan-College Station
small businessmen.
Presnal said the Legislature is
much more informed than in the past
but members are not familiar with all
the bills that pass through the Texas
senate and house.
"Around 5,000 bills are consi
dered in the 140 day-sessions, and
during that period of time, there is
no way anyone can be thoroughly
familiar with all those bills,” he said.
Presnal said there is a lot of legisla
tion that constituents don’t hear ab
out, and about which the implica
tions are not realized until much la
ter— “and it may be too late as far as
our concerns.
"Businesses in trade need to sit
down and exchange notes,” as far as
what is needed amd wanted in the
way of legislation in that particular
industry or area of concern, he said.
I hope you realize that there is a
need to bring a group such as this
together,” Presnal said, “to at least
bring people with expertise to dis
cuss problems more fully.”
Presnal said that local business
men should become involved be
cause legislative action could very
well have an impact on their
businesses.
This group of area small business
men is forming to help establish rela
tions with the elected officials that
represent them, said Steve Ardan,
committee chairman of small
businessmen organization, a part of
the Chamber of Commerce.
Ardan said the group is planning
additional breakfasts where other
legislators, state and national repre
sentatives, and also heads of some of
the commissions in Austin may
come and speak.
The group wants to make iniorma-
tion available to the small business
man about enacted legislation that
will affect him, Arden said.
“We are going to establish a means
for group action when it is appropri
ate or when it might be called for by
one of our legislators,” Arden con
tinued.
Arden said that the chamber also
wants to establish a businessman’s
forum where legislators can come
and visit, and to encourage addi
tional businesses to become involv
ed with the legislative process itself.
“We can have a very active small
businessman’s council,” he said.
Allen Hanson, vice president of
the Chamber of Commerce commer
cial division, said any businessman is
invited to become a member of the
chamber, and to become involved in
the small businessmen council. All
they need to do is get in touch with
any commerce member or come by
the Chamber of Commerce office
401 S. Washington Avenue in Bryan
or write to P.O. Box 726 in Bryan.
