Mr. President. I commend Senator ABRAHAM. the Chairman of the Senate Immigration Subcommittee. for his leadership in reaching this acceptable compromise that addresses the needs of our hightech industry and is fair to U.S. workers. I also commend the White House for its strong commitment to protecting the U.S. labor force. This is an issue of major importance to the hightech industry and U.S. workers. Hightech jobs are growing at three times the rate of other jobs. Over the next ten years. hightech computer companies will need 1.3 million additional employees. Few dispute the fact that today. U.S. hightech companies are unable to find enough skilled workers to meet the mushrooms demands of their rapidly growing industry.
