It is late in the evening so I am not going to go into all of the many others. but I think that any study that has been conducted by serious researchers reveals that there not only exists. but will continue to be. an ever larger number of vacancies in this area. This legislation that was stopped tonight not only covers increasing the number of hightech workers. it also is a very important piece of legislation to our academic institutions--in two respects. First. regarding many of the hightech jobs. many of the HlB visa users are in fact employed on our campuses teaching American kids how to perform these hightechnology jobs so we can meet the demand in this area in the future. If we do not have these scientists. these educators. we are going to continue to fail to meet the challenge. In addition. our academic institutions were relying on the passage of this legislation to address a very serious problem created by the Hathaway decision with regard to the prevailing wage they must pay people who come in under the H1B Program. So this does not just affect the private sector. it affects our academic institutions as well. In addition. the Senator from Iowa and others who question the problem do not need to just listen to people on our side of the aisle.
