Yannakakis served for 30 months as a medical officer in the Greek Army. He entered the United States on January 2. 1960. as an exchange visitor and was here until July 8. 1965. when he and his American wife and two children returned to Greece. He received a waiver for the 2year residency requirement because of hardship and returned here with his family on a permanent immigrant visa on February 18. 1966. Because of the requirements of the medical profession in the State of Missouri. Dr. Yannakakis needs to become an American citizen in order to practice medicine there. From the information I have on hand. he would be a credit to his profession and I am therefore introducing this legislation to enable him to become a naturalized citizen as soon as possible.
