We have recently won a war In a far away place. operating in a cultural environment alien to the American experience. Our country needs our support today. to be prepared for tomorrow. we must pass H.R. 107 this year. H.R. 107. a pilot program to run for only 3 years before reevaluation. would enable the National Guard in a few States where the Guard Is noticeably below authorized strength. to make up this deficit through the recruitment of immigrants who are qualified In all other respects save permanent residence status. The purpose here is to fill the needs of the military. not only quantitatively. but qualitatively. with highly qualified natives of dozens of foreign nations which. prior to the change In immigration regulations in the 1960s. had provided a significant part of the National Guard and regular military manpower recruitment pool in many parts of the country. including the Northeast. A competitive advantage can be gained In the world by understanding that not everyone operates by the same values. world view or methodology as Americans. Understanding leadership requirements for the United States in a world where America no longer enjoys the dominance of the postWorld War II era requires that we enfranchise and mainstream people who can provide our military.
