But this is all the more reason to attack the root of the problemthe shortage of doctors and nurses. and the urgency of training more today to meet the demands of tomorrow. Medicine is the most crucial area. but in other professions we are also severely dependent on the brain drain. It is disturbing to note an estimate by a Labor Department economist that. over the next decade. 1 out of every 11 new professional workers in the United States will be an immigrant. I certainly appreciate the impressive contribution that immigrants have made and will make to our national development. But I am troubled by the oneway character of the permanent flow. and by the picture of the richest nation in the world. with some of the finest educational institutions. following a continuing policy of draining professional manpower from countries whose rapid development is strongly in our national interest. As a third step.
