Political Quotes

“I think the Senator from Virginia has picked up a big part of the responsibility of furthering the agenda of high technology because our States do have a lot of similarity, such as in distance learning and telemedicine. These areas are isolated by mountains, where communications and the free flow of information have eluded people. Of course, with that in mind, I think he has picked up on what he wants to do with his State of Virginia, so that not only Northern Virginia benefits from research and development but the advancement of the information age, and also that the rest of the State can participate in it as well. If you look at my State of Montana, you see we have similar challenges ahead of us. I congratulate Senator Allen for his fine work. He has done a marvelous job chairing this high-tech task force. Under his leadership, we were able to aid in some victories last year, including the extension of the Internet tax moratorium for 2 years and the inclusion of an enhanced depreciation provision in the stimulus package that the President just signed.”
