Dirk Kempthorne: “The UI's proposal would give rural Idahoans, who must deal with the lowest physician to patient ratio in the nation…”

On the recordJuly 21, 1998
The UI's proposal would give rural Idahoans, who must deal with the lowest physician to patient ratio in the nation, access to better health care. It would give my state's rural economy a boost with real-time access to its customers. It would provide key communications links between the state's education institutions, businesses and state governments. Would you agree that the University of Idaho's proposal, to establish an Idaho Intranet and provide access to the benefits of the information and technology to be available under programs such as the vBNS and Abilene, is consistent with the Committee's proposals under the Information Infrastructure Grants program?
