Speaker. I rise to honor Safi Qureshey. an individual who exemplifies the diversity. enterprise. spiritual values and personal integrity of a newly emerging California and yes. our nation in the 21st century. Safi immigrated to the United States from his native Pakistan. After finishing his education he went to work in the burgeoning electronics industry. Like the greats of industry who came before him. Safi was not content with the security of working for a large established corporation. Instead Safi joined with two other young immigrant entrepreneurs and started their own computer company in 1980. That company. AST Corporation. went from a garagebased operation to a multibillion dollar world enterpnse in just one decade.
