N.C., has earned the "Guardian of Small Busi ness Award" presented by the Natioinal Federation of Inde pendent Business (NFIB). Rep. Whitley qualified for the NFIB "Guardian" award by voting in favor of small business 83% of the time during the 95th Congress. \ * * NFIB President Wilson S. Johnson, in conferring the award on Rep. WMMoy noted: "We initiated our rating system to give special recogni tion to those legislators who support small business and make sure that small business owners know how their legisla tors represented them in Con gress." "NFIB and its moee than 540,000 member firms nation wide regard a 70 percent or higher rating on key small business issues as worthy of the 'Guardian' award/' Johnson said. "Too many legislators go back home claiming to support ' small business simply because they voted for an agprapfis>b|g|^ Administration (SBA). We feel our membership deserves to know how their Congressman voted on each of the issues which are of direct importance to small business." "I hope that all citizens interested in preserving small business will take note of Rep. Whitley's voting record and realize they have someone in Washington who is aware of the problems facing small business. The small and independent business person can't survive today without this type of fair representation," Johnson said. NF1B. the nation's largest small business organization, is nonprofit and nonpartisan. Walker Candidate !
