Mr. President. it is important to note the outstanding caliber and the unique qualifications of the doctors participating in this program. In order to receive a J1 visa. many of the participants were accepted into medical universities and worldrenowned teaching hospitals with rigorous acceptance standards. In some cases. the admitted physicians are often specifically recruited by particular health facilities on the basis of their superior foreign language skills and cultural familiarity. For instance. the GAO cited a migrant health center in eastern Washington which actively recruited nativeSpanish speakers for its program. HUD plays a critical role in the reduction of health care costs. The agency operates a number of programs which benefit hospitals. nursing homes. and other health care organizations.
