I too am committed to seeing to it that there is funding for these programs. As the Ranking Member knows, I believe that as far as the shortage of highly skilled workers is concerned, we have both a short term and a long term problem, and I believe these programs are an integral part of addressing our long term problem. I also believe the business community is already doing a great deal to help educate and train workers. That being said, I pledge to work with you, the other members of this body, the business community and other affected outside interests to seek ways to help fund these programs consistent with the principle you articulated.
