As stated in section 101 of the actThe purpose of this Act is to enable the Government of the United States to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries by means of educational and cultural exchange. to strengthen the ties which united us with other nations by demonstrating the educational and cultural interests. developments. and achievements of the people of the United States and other nations. and the contributions being made toward a peaceful and more fruitful life for people throughout the world. to promote international cooperation for educational and cultural advancement. and thus to assist in the development of friendly. sympathetic. and peaceful relations between the United States and the other countries of the world. This is my main reason for introducing this legislation. I do not wish to sit and see our strong ties of educational exchange cut because of some hasty decision by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The good that is achieved through letting foreign students help finance their way through school by working here in the summer. or other vacation period. far outweighs any problem that might be caused through the 17.000 to 20.000 jobs that are being taken by the foreign students. This new policy discriminates against any of the less developed countries that cannot afford to send their students to the United States on total scholarships.
