•HR 6569 IH

1 technologies, and modern information and commu2 nication systems have transformed the way people in

4 (2) The United States must establish policies

10 challenging environment of constant change and re11 invention. 

12 (4) The Nation needs to strengthen and im13 prove Federal support for a Next Generation econ14 omy and workforce. 

15 (5) The United States must explore sustainable 

16 strategies to create jobs that will endure, will remain 

17 reliant on a local workforce, and are unlikely to 

18 move overseas. 

19 (6) There is great value and untapped potential 

20 in the Nation’s rich history, the creative freedoms 

21 enjoyed by its people, and the many cultures and 

22 traditions that make the United States so unique.
