  Within the framework of supersymmetric grand unification, estimates of the
$b$ quark mass based on the asymptotic relation $m_b \simeq m_\tau$ single out
the region with $\tan\beta$ close to unity, particularly if $m_t(m_t)
\stackrel{_<}{_\sim} 170\ GeV$. We explore the radiative breaking of the
electroweak symmetry and the associated sparticle and higgs spectroscopy in
models with $1 < \tan\beta \stackrel{_<}{_\sim} 1.6$. The lightest scalar higgs
is expected to have a mass below $100\ GeV$, while the remaining four higgs
masses exceed $300\ GeV$. The lower bounds on some of the sparticle masses are
within the range of LEP 200.
