Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of H.R. 15450. a bill to exempt from the numerical limitations on Immigration any immigrant who continuously for at least 2 years immediately preceeding the time of his application for admission to the United States has been serving as missionary. brother. sister of a religious denomination and whose services are needed by such religious denomination. Under present law. a special category is established for priests. ministers. and rabbis to enter the United States without regard to the annual numerical limitation. This bill would simply permit monks and nuns to enter under the same conditions.
