Apropos of this posting, in the late 80's CSTB (Computer and
Telecommunications Board, National Academies) met with Silicon
Valley CEOs. We asked whats your number 1 concern. We got the
same answer as Bush.

5. TECH GURUS EDUCATE BUSH. Bush met with tech-sector CEO's this
week for policy advice, and got a unanimous answer: we need more
investment in K-12 science and math, to create a technically
educated workforce. Bush proclaimed the issue a priority.
