Nancy Pelosi asks Silicon Valley for help

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called upon Silicon Valley leaders on Monday to send Washington their ideas on how the United States can reverse global warming, improve education and health care and rebuild U.S. infrastructure. She called for "a massive infusion of resources" into basic biomedical research, investment in electronic health records, preventive medical care and innovations in green technology to create American jobs. She also called on Silicon Valley leaders to follow in the footsteps of Presidents Thomas Jefferson, who built roads and canals through the territories of the Louisiana Purchase, and Theodore Roosevelt, who established the national park system.
