    Synergies Summit in DC to promote H-1B and offshoring

    Given the American unemployment situation, this is outrageous!

    From Rob Sanchez' newsletter:

    <<<<< JOB DESTRUCTION NEWSLETTER No. 2024 -- 6/11/2009 >>>>>

    It looks like the lobbying campaign for more H-1Bs and more offshoring to
    India is getting underway. An event called the "Synergies Summit" that is
    sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the US India Business Council
    (USIBC), will be held in Washington DC on June 16-17.

    Make no mistake about it -- the purpose of the summit is to promote Indian
    immigration to the U.S. and the offshoring of U.S. industries to India. You
    can bet the Indians will also use this opportunity to push their nuclear
    "energy" program and to cram their irradiated mangos down our throats. The
    corporatalk in the following statement makes it crystal clear what the
    agenda is despite the foggy wording:

    "Azim Premji, Founding Chairman of WIPRO, who will be felicitated
    for his Global Vision, possesses the capabilities and skills to
    articulate how global sourcing is a positive force -- one that
    provides our businesses the opportunity to remain globally
    competitive -- an essential ingredient to creating jobs here at
    home and abroad.

    The summit will be attended by a "who's who" list of corporate power
    brokers, lobbyists, and Indian and US politicians. Several members of
    Obama's cabinet will be sucking up there also, including the Senator from
    Punjab (Hillary Clinton), who will be one of the keynote speakers.

    So far, and not surprisingly, the US media has been almost totally silent
    about the summit even though the USIBC called this event a "spectacular
    coup". The dead silence shouts loudly that US jobs are on the auction
    block. News blackouts of the summit doesn't extend to the Indian press
    however, as they are slobbering all over the story.

    Be sure to go to the summit public notice link below to see pictures of the
    guest list (short link provided). You can join them in DC for the low, low
    price of $500. That includes having dinner with the author of "Slumdog
    Millionaire." Belch!

    It's rather interesting to note that Obama's new nominees aren't on the
    guest list: Aneesh Chopra, the nation's Chief Technology Officer (CTO). and
    Vivek Kundra, our new Chief Information Officer (CIO). Surely they are
    going to attend, so why aren't they on the list?

    USIBC?s "Synergies Summit" to "Reboot" U.S.-India Ties

    WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The U.S.-India Business Council (USIBC), under
    the leadership of its Chairman, Indra K. Nooyi, will celebrate 34 years as
    the premier business advocacy organization promoting U.S.-India commercial
    ties by hosting India's Union Minister of Commerce & Industry, Shri Anand
    Sharma, together with a constellation of U.S. Cabinet Secretaries,
    including Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of Commerce
    Gary Locke, and the new U.S. Trade Representative, Ambassador Ron Kirk.
    USIBC will felicitate private sector icons Azim Premji and Anil Ambani,
    together with Sy Sternberg. The two-day "Synergies Summit", scheduled June
    16/17 in Washington, D.C. will focus on the opportunities that will flow
    from inherent synergies bolstering the world?s two largest free-market
    democracies.

    "With the historic elections in both countries now behind us, USIBC aims to
    ?bang the pots and pans? and awake both governments as to the real work
    that now needs to be completed in order to keep the U.S.-India commercial
    and trade relationship flourishing," said Ron Somers, President of USIBC.

    "USIBC?s 34th Anniversary `Synergies Summit' will be closely watched and
    widely attended by individuals and organizations who can help the
    U.S.-India relationship regain the high ground, which we have all worked so
    hard to achieve," Somers said. Already 350 business leaders have registered
    for attendance, including a high-level Confederation of Indian Industry
    (CII) executive mission being led by CII?s new President, Venu Srinivasan
    and CII's Chief Mentor, Tarun Das.

    Icons from the private sector will be accorded USIBC's highest honors for
    their Global Vision, Global Leadership, and Business Excellence at
    USIBC's 34th Anniversary "Synergies Summit".

    "Azim Premji, Founding Chairman of WIPRO, who will be felicitated for his
    Global Vision, possesses the capabilities and skills to articulate how
    global sourcing is a positive force -- one that provides our businesses the
    opportunity to remain globally competitive -- an essential ingredient to
    creating jobs here at home and abroad. Anil Ambani, Chairman of Reliance
    ADAG, who will be honored for his exemplary Global Leadership, is at the
    cutting edge advancing telecom, energy development, and entertainment --
    and, significantly, is fostering the convergence of these exciting sectors.
    Sy Sternberg, the recently-retired Chairman of New York Life, will be
    lauded for his Business Excellence and Commitment to India. Sy Sternberg
    has been a passionate advocate for opening India's insurance sector,
    which will contribute greatly to establishing a long-term debt market --
    necessary to fund India's massive infrastructure build-out," USIBC's
    President said. "On the occasion of USIBC's 34th Anniversary, these three
    business icons represent the best of the U.S.-India commercial
    relationship."

    Inaugurating this star-studded event on June 16th at Washington's newest
    building, The Newseum, Slumdog Millionaire author Vikas Swarup will receive
    USIBC's 34th Anniversary Award for "Cultural Ties That Bind" for the
    author's contribution illuminating aspects of society that facilitate a
    deeper understanding and abiding respect for humanity. Sarod Maestro
    Aashish Khan will then share the traditions of Indian culture, emphasizing
    the synergies of friendship that connect our peoples.

    The U.S.-India Business Council (USIBC), formed in 1975 at the request of
    the Government of India and the U.S. Government to deepen trade and
    strengthen commercial ties is hosted under the aegis of the U.S. Chamber of
    Commerce. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world's largest business
    federation representing more than 3 million businesses and organizations of
    every size, sector and region.

    USIBC to Hold High-Powered 'Synergies Summit' in D.C.

    By RICHARD SPRINGER
    indiawest.com June 04, 2009 06:05:00 PM


    The US-India Business Council, the premier organization in the U.S.
    promoting trade and business between the U.S. and India, is holding one of
    the most high-powered India-U.S. business summits in recent memory June
    16-17 in Washington, D.C.

    In a reflection on how crucial India has become for U.S policymakers, the
    forum will feature three Obama administration heavyweights: Secretary of
    State Hillary Clinton, Commerce Secretary Gary Locke and U.S. Trade
    Representative Ron Kirk. Doubtless many more U.S. policymakers in D.C. will
    be attending.

    Headliners from India will include Wipro Technologies chairman Azim Premji,
    Reliance ADA Group chairman Anil Ambani and Confederation of Indian
    Industry chief mentor Tarun Das.

    Besides USIBC board chairman and CEO Indra K. Nooyi and USIBC board member
    and New York Life CEO/chairman Sy Sternberg, the high-powered speaker
    line-up includes former U.S. Secretary of Defense William Cohen of the
    Cohen Group, former U.S. Ambassador to India Richard Celeste and senior
    partner emeritus of McKinsey & Company Rajat Gupta.

    The full roster of attendees reads like a Who's Who of business between
    the U.S. and India. For conference information, visit: www.usibc.com, or
    contact: Nick Lembon, lembo@uschamber.org.

    USIBC has followed up upon its spectacular coup in getting Nooyi, easily
    the most high-profile Indian American CEO in the U.S., to chair the
    organization, by adding many prestigious board members. The group has also
    increased its influence by organizing recent meetings in India on specific
    business sectors (media and entertainment, telecom and IT) and issued
    timely statements on improvements in U.S.-India relations.

    Current board members include Cohen, Gupta, Warburg Pincus co-president
    Charles Kaye, General Electric India president Tejpreet Chopra, Chatterjee
    Group president P.C. Chatterjee and former U.S. Ambassador Frank Wisner.

    West Coast board members include Arun Kumar, lead partner, India Practice,
    at KPMG LLP; Kenneth Juster, executive vice president, Salesforce.com; Raj
    Nathan, chief marketing officer, worldwide, Sybase; and Shailesh Rao,
    managing director of Google India.

    USIBC president Ron Somers told India-West in an e-mail that the
    -"astonishing electoral outcome in India provides a rare opportunity for
    USIBC to awaken the Obama administration and India to the absolute
    excitement we all feel so deeply about and which was so perfectly expressed
    two weeks ago by the people of India."

    -"With a new government in India now in formation, and the Obama
    administration presently staffing key posts that will shape U.S.-India
    engagement for the long future, our companies have much at stake to make
    certain that momentum is regained, our trajectory is pointed ever-upward
    and our countries are united."

    USIBC, celebrating its 34th anniversary in 2009, was formed in 1975 at the
    request of the governments of the U.S. and India -"to involve the private
    sectors of both countries to strengthen the commercial linkages between the
    world's two largest free-market democracies."

    Its joint programs include the U.S.-India Economic Dialogue (CEO Forum),
    the U.S.-India High Technology Cooperation Group, the U.S.-India Energy
    Dialogue, the Defense Procurement and Production Group and the U.S.-India
    Trade Policy Forum. Thirteen executive committees and working groups meet
    regularly to assess progress on the ground, and USIBC organizes
    sector-specific missions to India.

    Headquartered at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C., USIBC
    has established a presence in New York through the Manhattan-India
    Investment Roundtable in affiliation with the U.S. Council for
    International Business. USIBC also maintains offices in California and New
    Delhi.

    Mythili Sankaran, USIBC's newly-named West Coast director in Silicon
    Valley, told India-West that USIBC, which has more than 300 members, offers
    firms doing business in India -"an incredible resource." The West Coast
    office, she added, will capitalize on the fact that so many high-tech firms
    are based in Silicon Valley, to promote Indo-U.S. trade in those sectors.

    Prior to joining USIBC, Sankaran was CEO of a mobile/Web2.0 startup,
    Koollage. Before that, she was an executive at the American India
    Foundation.

    Arun KumarTue, Jun 9 09:19 AM

    Washington, June 9 (IANS) Top US government officials, including Secretary
    of State Hillary Clinton, will participate in a Synergies Summit hosted by
    a premier business advocacy organisation to 'reboot' US-India ties after
    the elections in both countries.

    India's Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma, US Secretary of
    Commerce Gary Locke and the new US Trade Representative Ron Kirk will also
    attend the summit marking the US-India Business Council's (USIBC) 34th
    anniversary.

    The two-day Synergies Summit on June 16-17 will focus on the opportunities
    that will flow from inherent synergies bolstering the world's two largest
    free-market democracies, it announced.

    'With the historic elections in both countries now behind us, USIBC aims to

    trade relationship flourishing,' said USIBC president Ron Somers.

    The summit 'will be closely watched and widely attended by individuals and
    organizations that can help the US-India relationship regain the high
    ground, which we have all worked so hard to achieve,' Somers said.

    high-level Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) executive mission being
    led by CII's new president, Venu Srinivasan and CII's chief mentor, Tarun
    Das.

    Headed by Pepsico's Indian American CEO, Indra K. Nooyi, USIBC represents
    some 310 American companies, who have presence in India. Of them 220 firms
    figure in the list of Fortune-500.

    The star-studded event will be inaugurated at The Newseum by
    diplomat-author Vikas Swarup, who will receive USIBC's 34th Anniversary
    Award for 'Cultural Ties That Bind' for his contribution illuminating
    aspects of society that facilitate a deeper understanding and abiding
    respect for humanity.

    Obama Admin to unveil its India agenda at USIBC on June 17

    Lalit K Jha
    Washington, June 9 (PTI) The Obama Administration may unveil its India
    agenda at 'Synergies Summit' of the US India Business Council on June 17
    when three of its top officials including Secretary of State Hillary
    Clinton will be present.

    Clinton and other officials are expected to spell out the new
    administration's policy for India, with whom the US President has favoured
    "deep" strategic relations.

    India, on the other hand, would be represented by its Commerce Minister and
    some of its leading corporate leaders, including Azim Premji and Anil
    Ambani.

    Besides Clinton, the United States Government would be represented by its
    Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke and US Trade Representatives Ambassador
    Ron Kirk at the day-long deliberations between the corporate leaders of the
    two countries at the 34th annual convention of the USIBC.

    The US officials are expected to articulate the policies of the Obama
    Administration towards India and set the ball rolling for the rest part of
    Obama's current tenure.

    In the first five months of its governance, the Obama Administration had to
    wait for the elections in India to be over. Now that the new government has
    occupied its seat in New Delhi the White House does not want to waste any
    time and it now seems to be all set to put the relationship on fast track.

    Protectionism, an issue of concern, needs to be resisted: USIBC
    Lalit K Jha/ PTI / Washington June 8, 2009, 10:53 IST

    Observing that voices of protectionism emanating from the political
    quarters, is an issue of concern for American businesses, an Indo-US
    chamber has said it believes that such trends need to be resisted.


    "Protectionism is an issue of concern for us. Such an easy political catch
    word; we need to resist this," said Ron Somers, President, US India
    Business Council (USIBC), and argued that outsourcing, global sourcing is
    enabling US companies remain competitive in the world market.

    "For American companies to remain globally competitive, our companies are
    looking to do business all around the world, accessing best values, best
    resources and best talents. It is only then that we can create jobs in the
    US," he said.

    When specifically asked about H-1B visa and US President Barack Obama
    announcing his intention of stopping jobs being outsourced to Bangalore,
    India, Somers said the Congressional attack on outsourcing, specifically on
    India, is unfortunate.

    "The recent legislations introduced in the United States Senate would
    severely restrict the flow of high skilled immigrants to the US. We believe
    this is harmful. It hurts the American competitiveness," he said, adding
    that the US Chamber is working closely with the elected representatives up
    on the Hill to resist this campaign rhetoric.

    Skilled And Educated Immigrants Need Only Apply

    It seems our government doesn't support highly skilled useful immigrants that could actually help us re-build and re-store our country, instead they allow low skilled, low educated, un- healthy, illegal third world thugs to siphon our National life blood.................
