All that is needed is a computer and a printer in many cases for a multitude of technology enterprises. Indeed, I have written a long with Congressman Frank Wolf to President Clinton, requesting that he permit federal government employees to telework. Unfortunately, President Clinton apparently fears people working from their homes. Nevertheless as a U.S. senator, I will provide leadership in the Senate to encourage teleworking for federal government and private sector employees. Further, as I did as governor, I will push for Metro-style rails to extend from West Falls Church through Tysons Corner, Reston and on to Dulles Airport.
Education is absolutely essential for our children to compete and succeed in the future.
In the short term, I do support the number of high-tech visas for immigrants. However, we must look to re-train current citizens through private technology colleges, community colleges and universities so that those students and people can obtain such good paying technology jobs. I trust people and free enterprise and want to make sure that the government provides proper conditions in the areas of education, law enforcement and national security so that all people, regardless of their ethnic origin, gender and religious beliefs can compete, succeed and lead fulfilling lives. With the enormous surpluses, it is my view that people ought to keep more of what they earn, and that they should decide themselves how to spend their money rather than sending it to politicians in Washington. That was our last question today for former Virginia governor and Senate candidate George Allen.
