Finally. these are funds. resources. public funding that are going to private companies. many of which are very profitable and very successful. and we shouldnt have an industrial policy at the Federal level that provides unnecessary subsidies to private corporations. I think we can do better. We can find better areas in which to allocate these resourcesdealing with illegal immigration. crimes committed by illegal aliens. and transitional housing for those affected by domestic violence are certainly priorities that are much more significant. much more valuable. much more appropriate than a project that subsidizes private companies. The final point about the Advanced Technology Program: It has been allocated at over $100 million per year. $150 million to even $200 million per year. depending on how far back in time we look. I simply ask my colleagues to consider. if they were at a company that was developing microprocessors. and one of their competitors was being given a subsidy by the Federal Government to do the same thing. would you think that was fair?
