On the recordJune 2, 2004
I want to point out this placard I have about a statement that was made by Alan Greenspan before the Committee on Education and the Workforce. It says, we need to increase our efforts to ensure that as many of our citizens as possible have the opportunity to capture the benefits that flow from that engagement. For reasons that I shall elucidate shortly, one critical element in creating that opportunity is the provision of a rigorous education and ongoing training to all members of our society. This proposal is not novel. It is, in fact, the strategy that we have followed successfully for most of the past century and a strategy that we now should embrace with renewed commitment. That is what we are talking about tonight, the renewed commitment to lifelong learning. Learning is indeed a 'lifelong' endeavor. I'd like to highlight the efforts of IBM.
