We must educate our youth to embrace high technology as everyday practice. My recommendation is to amend the current intellectual property laws so that the information superhighway is accessible to students through libraries, universities and elementary, junior and high schools. International trade American companies both large and small are beginning to think globally. Many small businesses are beginning to make their mark in the area of international trade. However, as they begin to expand into foreign markets, they are met with competition from big corporations.
Small businesses have the ability to react to the demands of overseas trade.
Unfortunately, many small businesses are not equipped with the financial resources to do so. Since American companies are expanding globally and thriving on international trade, there needs to be more opportunity and easier access to other countries, especially for small businesses. Congress needs to financially assist small businesses in expanding abroad. Many small businesses cannot afford to explore foreign growth markets. There are many other issues of concern to me that I will address at the White House Conference on Small Business, such as community development, environmental policy, human capital, and regulation and taxation.
