President. let me state the intent behind some of the other statutory changes we are making. The first relates to the new standards for classification of P1 nonimmigrants in section (3) of our bill. The P1 visa category is for aliens who make an important contribution to the quality of a performance group that is recognized as being outstanding in more than one country. including the United States. Such international recognition is not earned easily. it reflects a consistently outstanding level of performance sustained over a substantial period during which time the group has been tested in a number of performances for varying material. Recognition for outstanding quality extende to the group itself and not to any particular entertainment. play. composition. or event the group may present.
