Gates to speak to Congress
Puget Sound Business Journal (Seattle)
What do ya wanna bet that he'll be telling Congress that we need unlimited H-1B visas to keep the U.S. competitive in the world marketplace.
Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft Corp., is expected to address the U.S. House Science and Technology Committee in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.
It's expected to be Gates' last congressional testimony as chairman of the Redmond software giant (NASDAQ: MSFT) before he steps down this summer to devote more time to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, based in Seattle.
Gates is expected to testify on "efforts needed to strengthen our country's competitiveness in the global marketplace, policies to encourage innovation and the role of technology in our economic growth," according to a statement from the office of U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert, R-Wash.
