Thus. today I hope to bring attention. interest. and action to bear on a littlenoticed. but vexing situation. in which Americas women doctors find themselves. I would like to bring to the attention of my colleagues an excellent article detailing the difficulties of the physicianmother whose practice suffers because she cannot obtain household help and care for her children to free her for her lifesaving duties. As the article emphasizes. the shortage of household help has been caused. in part. by recently issued stricter regulations by the Department of Labor on immigrants seeking entry to the United States as domestic workers. Accordingly. I have written to Secretary of Labor Hodgson requesting that he review the possibilities of relaxing these restrictions which are indirectly affecting the time which the physicianmother can devote to her practice.
