Ayerst officials have indicated that this center would create approximately 60 new jobs for U.S. citizens. But before these 60 new jobs can be created. Ayerst must first transfer a trained nucleus staff of 16 people from its major research facility in neighboring Montreal. but. unfortunately. six of those 16 persons are nativeborn Canadians who fall under the Western Hemisphere numerical limitation for immigration to the United States. With an indicated current delay of 10 months in obtaining their required visas. Ayerst cannot expect those six employees to be available to the research center prior to June of 1970. Ironically. and this I believe to be most important. each of the six involved has already received Department of Labor certification for entry into the United States. while. at the same time. strange as it may seem. another seven of the transferees are of Eastern Hemisphere origin for whom a delay of not more than three months on any one of them is anticipated.
