We are willing to make adjustments along the lines that have been recommended. There is some adjustment in terms of rural development and depressed innercity centers to encourage investment in those areas. There is some adjustment to select persons for the point system. to give 20 percent of the visas to those with the most points. And there is a technical amendment which clarifies the Presidents authority to change national immigration levels by 5 percent. Finally. there is an amendment to permit the admission of health professionals to work in underserved areas. and to require that those individuals stay there for 7 years. The concern we had earlier about this last amendment is that individuals come in. and. once they meet the other medical requirements. they settle in for only a short period of time. and then leave.
