“This is amendment No. 4181. The cosponsors are Senators Snowe, Bingaman, and Kerry. It is a deficit-neutral reserve fund for science parks. These are sometimes called technology parks or business incubators. But there is no doubt these science parks have a great track record of spurring innovation and job creation at a time when the economy is slowing and international competition is growing. We need to do everything we can to provide good-paying jobs for American workers. More than 300,000 workers in North America work in a university science park. Every job there generates an average of 2.57 jobs in the economy.”
