Let me just take one or two examples of a specific company and the way in which it would be impacted by the proposed amendments. My friends at Microsoft tell me they will have hired an individual for. a 12month contract to do a very specific task. say. to develop an Internet site for stamp and coin collectors but then determined that there wasnt enough to warrant going on with the project and dismissed the employee. The proposed amendments backed by the administration would prevent Microsoft from hiring any new H1B worker for any project for a period of at least 3 to 9 months. or if someone is dismissed because they have worked on a project and are experts at something which is now an anachronism. you cannot hire a new one through H1B for something that looks to the future and is totally and completely different without meeting all of these restrictions. Today we have an example of the Clinton administrations desire to have lawyers and judges design computers. In the amendments this afternoon. quite consistent with that philosophy. we have its desire to act as an employment agency for all of the hightech companies in America. to tell them who they can hire. when they can hire them. when they can fire them. and what the restrictions on them will be.
