"Fifty
years ago, there was no Silicon Valley. Thirty years ago, there
was no biotech industry. Ten years ago, there was no Internet. Who
know what new enterprises will be created or what medical breakthroughs
will result because of our institutes? But this we do know: Breakthroughs
will occur. And I want to make sure they will occur right here in
California."
California Gov. Gray Davis, January 5,
2000
