Humbly report, All, Bill to Bring Technology Workers to U.S. Dies:

nytimes.com

Excerpt:

A bill that would have increased the number of United States visas granted to foreign high-technology workers died in the Senate Friday, with backers of the bill warning its demise could have dire consequences as the computer industry tries to deal with the year 2000 millennium bug.

An ouch for Indian body shops, a plus for US and Canadian automated y2k remediation factories?

And just a few days ago I said the visas were a done deal for at least a year to come. Figures! That'll teach ya to listen to what I have to blab!

Cheers,

Svejk
