JONES CITED

Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C., has been named ``Guardian of Small Business'' by the nation's largest small-business advocacy organization, the National Federation of Independent Business.

The organization honors U.S. lawmakers who provide consistent support for free enterprise by voting favorably on key small-business issues at least 70 percent of the time during a two-year session of Congress.

Jones' small-business voting record during the 104th Congress, based on 37 recorded votes, was 100 percent. by CNB
