US computer companies have warned the government against imposing restrictions on their freedom to shift technology jobs overseas

<snip>

On Wednesday, technology companies urged the US government to resist the temptation to impose curbs on offshoring, saying that the Administration should focus instead on making the US a more attractive country in which to hire technology workers.

"Americans who think that foreign workers are no match for US workers in knowledge, skills and creativity are mistaken," said the report by the Computer Systems Policy Project, which includes the chiefs of the leading US computer companies.
