Arturo Bomolan Dela Rosa. He cannot enter private practice until he takes the State medical examinations. which are to be given on June 10. In order to be eligible to take the medical examinations he must be a permanent resident and have filed a declaration of intent to become a naturalized citizen. The present waiting list for Filipinos to become permanent residents is such that he faces a delay of 18 months. I have discussed this case with the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization. and he informs me that the method of handling such a case is a private bill to make Dr. Dela Rosa a permanent resident. and thus make him eligible to take the medical examinations. He informs me that this is not an unusual situation. especially with respect to foreigntrained doctors. and that his office would have no objection to such a bill.
