**11. WOMEN AND HIGH TECH - ELECTRONIC NEWS. I am writing about women
in high tech industries. A new bill has been introduced to establish a
commission on women in science, engineering, and technology
development to explore whether employers recruit, promote, and retain
women at the same rate as they do with men. Basically, I want to know
why. Are women underrepresented because of discrimination? Are not
enough getting engineering and science degrees? Are they simply not
interested? I would like to talk with experts who have insight on this
subject as well as women who have dropped out. >>> Dick Bruner Email:
