programs
(a) Recommendation of legislation
To the extent deemed appropriate by the President in fulfillment of
the purposes of section 3111 of this title, the President shall
recommend legislation to the Congress if necessary, regional and
structural employment policies and programs.
(b) Private sector production and employment; effect of Federal policies
In formulating the regional components of any such programs, the
President shall encourage to the extent the President deems necessary,
new private sector production and employment to locate within depressed
localities and regions with substantial unemployment and to aid in
stabilizing their economic base. To the extent feasible, such policies
and programs shall foster the establishment and growth of smaller
businesses in such localities and regions. Any regional employment
proposal of the President shall also include an analysis of the extent
to which Federal tax, expenditure (including procurement of goods and
services), defense, transportation, energy, natural resources and
employment policies have influenced the movement of people, jobs, and
small and larger business and industries from chronic high unemployment
regions and areas, and proposals designed to correct Federal policies
that have an adverse economic impact upon such regions and areas.
