The idea is that the concentration of technology jobs and innovation has been largely on the coasts and in certain large metropolitan cities. What this would do is say, look, there can be these clusters of innovation jobs in any part of the country. We've said that we should have up to $1 trillion of funding for the science and technology investment [over 10 years]. We need to have those dispersed across communities across this nation – rural communities underrepresented minority communities – so that everyone is participating in some of these innovation jobs. You really need the buy-in of the local chambers of commerce, local business, local universities, the local mayors, the local elected officials.
