Abstract:

An issue which may come before the 95th Congress is the problem of government competition with industry. In many instances, the government is actually producing goods and services which could easily be produced in the private sector at a lower cost. Therefore, there is no overwhelming reason for the government to be in the business of competing with private enterprise.
