I call attention to a very serious situation that has developed in my State. I have been advised. by a legal firm in my hometown of Helena. that one of its clients. a rancher. is unable to obtain a competent horsebreaker or trainer. The rancher has been in touch with an Australian. with impressive qualifications. who seeks to enter this country to engage in the storied profession of "bronc peeling." Under the rules of the Immigration Department. in order for the Australian to enter this country there must be a certification by the Labor Department that there is not an American supply of horse trainers who are unemployed. The Department of Labor did indeed certify that "qualified workers are not available within the United States for referral to the employer by the Employment Service." Mr. President. what will the American image be abroad if it becomes known that the Nation of cowboys and Indians. which exports hundreds of western movies. where even former Presidents September. 11 read western novels. has to import a horse wrangler from the other side of the world?
