Mohan, Ravi, & Raj: U.S. Congress Reaches Agreement on High Tech Visa Bill If my memory serves me right, Bill gates appeared in some kind of a congressional hearing seeking and endorsing the hiring of foreigners - software engineers - for US companies. Sounds like the same way that they needed doctors in the past. How lucky the Americans are? How lucky the Indians are? Their needs seem to be complementary and mutually beneficial. It appears that many of the Americans are not tech oriented in their education and go for easy managerial positions. Let the chinese and Indians do the technical work. And now what is it with not allowing South Asian nuclear physicists from attending the conferences? It sounds retrograde and anathematic to the High Tech Visa bill being passed in Congress. JPR

To: Mohan Marette From: JPR Friday, Jul 24 1998 10:55PM EST -Preview- Mohan: Indian diplomats are also encouraged by Talbott's clarification that India has misunderstood the Sino-US joint declaration that China has a role in ensuring peace in South Asia.The US side is said to have urged the Indians not to attach too much significance to US friendship with China. I don't understand this. On the one hand US says that US wants a strategic alliance with China and on the other hand US says not to attach too much significance to US friendship with China. US has now come to understand and accept that Indian national Security compulsions demand a nuclear deterrence against China. In this triumvirate of China, India and Pakistan, the latter two will not engage in a nuclear exchange because of close proximity,( Call me an unrealistic optimist) while India maintains nuclear deterrence against China. Nuclear armed submarines go a long way in assuring a further measure in deterrence. I would not be surprised that over years India and Pakistan will accept each other and become good neighbors and friends like US and Canada. May be China will be in the cards in the distant future.
