The bill also provides funding. though limited. directly to the Amtrak Reform Council instead of channeling such funds through the Secretary of Transportation. These are good decisions. ones which I support. Also contained in this omnibus bill is legislation to increase the number of HlB visas for skilled foreign professionals who wish to work temporarily in the United States in jobs unfilled by American workers. I cosponsored the original Senate legislation to raise the existing cap on H1B visas. The provisions in this bill will allow dynamic American companies and research labs to hire more skilled foreign professionals. At the same time. we have incorporated safeguards to protect American workers and provide substantial funding to educate and train Americans to fill the lucrative hightech jobs that are available across our country.
