  For any $\epsilon>0$, there exists $q_0(\epsilon)$ such for any $q\ge
q_0(\epsilon)$ and any invertible residue class $a$ modulo $q$, there exists a
natural number that is congruent to $a$ modulo $q$ and that is the product of
exactly three primes, all of which are below $q^{\frac{3}{2}+\epsilon}$. If we
restrict our attention to odd moduli $q$ that do not have prime factors
congruent to 1 mod 4, we can find such primes below
$q^{\frac{11}{8}+\epsilon}$. If we further restrict our set of moduli to prime
$q$ that are such that $(q-1,4\cdot7\cdot11\cdot17\cdot23\cdot29)=2$, we can
find such primes below $q^{\frac{6}{5}+\epsilon}$. Finally, for any
$\epsilon>0$, there exists $q_0(\epsilon)$ such that when $q\ge q_0(\epsilon)$,
there exists a natural number that is congruent to $a$ modulo $q$ and that is
the product of exactly four primes, all of which are below $q(\log q)^6$.
