There is nothing in the world like it. That is a great compliment to our country and to our system of higher education from one of the most erudite men in the world. the former President of Brazil. But the yellow flags and red flags are waving because as we look ahead over the next 10 years. our system of higher education and. therefore. our standard of living is at risk because of a flat State funding. because of upcoming pressures on the Federal budget. because of tight visa rules and other national security concerns. which are understandable but will have this effect. and because other countries in the world are recognizing there is no reason in the world why the Americans should have 5 percent of the people and a third of the money. They have the same brains we have in India. in China. in Germany. so we will just keep our smarter people at home. they are saying. and we will create that standard of living for ourselves. I look forward to working with Secretary Spellings.
