Rogelio Narvaez and Dr. Perlita Acuna Narvaez. I am gratified that the distinguished Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration. Refugees. and International Law. will be holding hearings on these doctors and other meritorious bills at 10 a.m. Wednesday. If in its wisdom the subcommittee requests a report on my bills from the Department of Justice. a stay of deportation can be issued on the doctors behalf. In turn. while the report is pending. these doctors can obtain permission from the Immigration and Naturalization Service to begin their practice. I have letters and petitions with thousands of signatures of support from each of these communities. from each of these areas medical boards and hospital administrators. from professionals in each of these communities. and requests from the State health systems agency and even from the Governor of Nebraska to do all that I can to insure the stay of these fine doctors. Each of these doctors has a permanent Nebraska medical licensea State in which one must pass all medical exams with a 75 percent. or above. average and which issues no temporary licenses to foreign doctors. All five of these doctors have passed all medical exams and have taken the VQE and are awaiting the results. Of the five. all are certified general practitioners. two are also anesthesiologists. one has trained as a radiologist/urologist. and the fifth has trained in pediatrics and obstetrics/gynecology. The communities these doctors will serve are not interested in being used as havens by foreign medical graduates to provide them with quick access to a permanent residency visa. These are areas in critical need of quality. primary medical care. There is substantial evidence available to support this claim.
