REP. JOHN LAFALCE (D-NY)
On May 12 and May 19, 1993, Rep. LaFalce purchased stock in a number of technology and manufacturing-intensive firms. His purchases are as follows:
Mark IV: 5/12/93 $1,000 - $15,000
Comptek Research: 5/12/93 $1,000 - $15,000
US Cellular: 5/12/93 $1,000 - $15,000
Northern Telecom: 5/12/93 $1,000 - $15,000
Coca Cola: 5/19/93 $1,000 - $15,000
Motorola: 5/19/93 $1,000 - $15,000
Philip Morris: 5/19/93 $1,000 - $15,000
These purchases are interesting because they directly coincide with the beginning of aggressive Congressional debate on H.R. 820: NATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS ACT...To ammend the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act to enhance manufacturing technology development and transfer.
H.R. 820 was introduced February 4, 1993. Rep. LaFalce is a CO-SPONSOR of this bill!!!
NOTES: Rep. LaFalce is # 3 on the House Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs; he is # 1 on the House Small Business Committee.
