                                 INTEL

 Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, Intel is the epitome of a good 
corporate citizen. During the August recess I was able to view the 
exceptional good deed performed by Intel. Intel has a large 
semiconductor manufacturing plant located in Rio Rancho, NM. It is a 
big

employer and it provides good paying jobs. Rio Rancho didn't have a 
high school so Intel decided to build the community one. Some 1,900 
students will attend this beautiful new 30 million-dollar facility. 
This is exciting for the community because the high schoolers will no 
longer have to leave Rio Rancho to attend high school. It is a special 
kind of home coming.
  New Mexico is lucky to have Intel as a member of its community. Rio 
Rancho would have eventually built a high school, but Intel made it 
happen sooner.
  Also of significance is what will be going on inside this high 
school. Intel has been very active in working with voc-ed programs so 
that students are trained for the jobs available at Intel. It starts in 
the high schools and continues in the technical schools, community 
colleges, and universities. As job requirements change at Intel, the 
company has a rigorous job training program that makes a prime example 
of what lifelong learning is all about.
