Bill Gates Prods Washington on Foreign Aid, Education

Philanthropist Bill Gates urged lawmakers and the coming Obama administration to maintain U.S. investments in foreign-aid and education initiatives despite the financial crisis.

Among his proposals is a more active role by the government in education. "If the federal government becomes a dynamic agent of school reform, it will help bring us out of the downturn better off than when we went in," Mr. Gates said.
