The American Association of Engineering Societies believes that it is premature to consider increasing again the new limits set by Congress in 1998 on entry of temporary foreign technical guest-workers through the H-1B visa program until the National Research Council completes and Congress has an opportunity to assess the results of the studies on the state of the high tech workforce it mandated in the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 1998 (Public Law 105-277, Sec. 417-418).
