Mr. Speaker. I am today introducing a bill in behalf of Dr. Antonio B. Santillano. a competently trained pathologist. who because of the dilemma in the medical practice laws of Missouri and their interrelationship with the laws relating to naturalization of foreignborn persons. finds himself ineligible for licensure as a practicing physician in Missouri. Dr. Santillanos case is one that has its counterpart in many States of our country. Those States. such as Missouri. require that a person must be a citizen of the United States before he can be issued a certificate to practice medicine in the State or can take the examination which is a prerequisite to the issuance of a medical certificate.
