Universities are also unable to obtain enough talented faculty members and researchers to fill critical hightech academic positions. If these shortages persist. the growth and vitality of U.S. hightech companies will be undermined and our role as a leader in technology and research will be diminished. The obvious solution to this current crisis is to increase the number of temporary visas available to skilled foreign workers. But the increase should not be permanent. Our immigration laws should not jeopardize opportunities for young Americans. downsized defense workers. and others who wish to enter the dynamic field of hightech industries. The current compromise reaches a fair balanceby temporarily increasing the number of hightech visas over the next three -years. and then reinstating the current annual cap of 65.000 visas after the third year. Many of the foreign workers who will benefit from this compromise are exceptionally talented. They represent the "best and brightest" the world has to offer.
