Table III shows that. for example. in 1960. 4.326 immigrant scientists and engineers entered the United States compared with 89.443 domestic graduates in those fields. or a percentage of 4.8. In 1961. 3.922 immigrant scientists and engineers entered the United States. compared with 93.000 domestic graduates in those fields. or a percentage of 4.2. This data is taken from the publication Scientific Manpower From Abroad. by the National Science Foundation. 1962. We are all aware that there is a great need for engineers and scientists. and that we are able to employ many. many more. This sharply accelerated demand for engineers. paralleling steeply increased demands for scientific and technical personnel. is attributed to increases in research activities. defense spending. and a speedup in industrial technological advances.
