At 11:26 AM 10/15/98 -0700, Gill, Kathy so eloquently stated:
>SENATE APPROVES BILL INCREASING HIGH-TECH WORKER VISAS
>After blocking the legislation last week, the Senate approved a measure
>nearly doubling the number of visas issued to high-tech workers over the
>next three years. The bill was included as part of the omnibus spending
>package approved late Tuesday. The number of visas will increase from
>65,000 to 115,000 by 2001, after which it will drop to 65,000 again. The
>House approved the legislation, which has been a high priority for Silicon
>Valley executives, last month. (Wall Street Journal 14 Oct 98)
>
>
>It's still not too late to tell 'em you are annoyed, given that it's an
>election year. What they put in an omnibus budget bill can be taken out in
>the next one.
