See "Improving Visa Rules for Skilled Workers," Bloomberg View, http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-08-28/improving-visa-rules-for-skilled-workers.html Glad to see I got Senator Schumer's attention. :-) Made my day. His lengthy response, of course, ignores the points I made in my piece. But that's what politicians are good at. Note that he alludes to IEEE-USA's support of his bill. Norm
