William F. Smith: “The self-executing amendment to H.R. 3736 includes a provision to provide math, engineering and computer science…”

On the recordSeptember 24, 1998
The self-executing amendment to H.R. 3736 includes a provision to provide math, engineering and computer science scholarships to needy students and a provision to provide additional worker training programs. There are a number of pilot programs being developed around the country to provide high-tech training to American workers. As the gentleman from Illinois has just mentioned, DePaul University has developed just such a pilot program to address the shortage of qualified U.S. high-tech workers in conjunction with corporate and local entities that might well serve as a good model for other programs across the country. Programs like the one developed by DePaul University are what we had in mind when the training provisions were drafted.
