Much is heard about the brain drain of scientific and technical personnel from the countries of Western Europe to the United States. As Mr. Burtis points out. the influx of foreign scientific and technical personnel falls far short of meeting the requirements of American Industry for trained personnel. The total number of immigrants plus the total number of graduates from our engineering and technical institutes does not come close to fulfilling the approximately 75.000 job openings which are created each year. This is a serious problem which must be met if this Nation is to retain its present rate of economic growth and I therefore commend Mr. Burtis address to the attention of Senators.
