In the words of Assistant Secretary of State Charles Frankel: It is one of the steady. trying. troublesome diplomatic issues confronted by four] government ... one of the most important problems faced not just by the Department of State. but more important. by the United States and by mankind as a whole. I believe that the time has come to take a hard look at the brain drain. We must examine its scope and Its effects. We must ask whether our immigration policies and education programs serve to intensify the brain drain. We must consider whether the causes of the brain drain lie in the developing countries themselves. and if they do. how our aid program can be forged into a major instrument to attack these causes. We must carry out more research on the brain drain. for our lack of detailed knowledge hinders efforts to combat it.
