Thæng kyu. Mr. Forbz. 

The president tomorrow night is expected in his State of the Union message to propose federal subsidies² to help lowincome families overcome the so-called digital divide. Is it an appropriate use of government funds to hand out computers and provide Internet access tothose who can't afford it, and if not, why not? We'll begin with Mr. Keyes.

"I think this is another case where politicians try to jump on the bandwagon of something that's going on in the economy, so everybody's gonna think that they actually have something todo with the result when theydon't. There's no need for this. We're already seeing out there proposals for the distribution of free PCs, not based on some politician making a judgment and spending taxpayer³ money, but based on the self-interest of those who are involved in a new world, a new world in which participation⁴ is the key to profit—and in which there is actually a strong incentive⁵ among those who participate on the private sector⁶ to give access to individuals so that theycan improve their opportunities for profit, for information sharing. That's what's already been going on—it will continue. There is no need for the government to pretend that it needs to take leadership here. I think that's just political posturing⁷." 

Senator McCain.

"I believe that we do have a problem. And that is that there is a growing gap between the haves and have-nots in America, those that are able to take part in this information technology and those that haven't. We took a major step forward when we decided⁸ to wire every school and library in America to the Internet. That's a good program. We have to have step two, three, and four, which means good equipment, good teachers, and good classrooms. No, I wouldn't do it directly. But there's lots of ways thatyou can encourage corporations, who in their own self-interest, would want to provide ... would receive tax benefits, would receive credit, and many other ways for being involved in the schools, in upgrading the quality of equipment that they have, the quality of the students, and thereby⁹ providing a much-needed well-trained workforce¹⁰." 

Thank you. Mr. Forbes.
