administration has consulted the Secretary of Defense. Foreign Military Rights Affairs. the State Department. and the Immigration and Naturalization Service. It has been concluded by them that this issue can best be resolved by legislation to further amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide for special immigrant status for NATO employee civilians in the same manner as for employees of international organizations. H.R. 429 has been introduced for this purpose. This initiative is fully endorsed by NATO headquarters and is urgently needed to redress what is regarded as a very unfair situation for employees working for the collective security of all NATO nations. I request that you give favorable consideration to the privilege of special immigrant status which is enjoyed by those employed by all other international organizations in the United States. I might add. again. that this is a very small group of people we are speaking of. All of them are highly educated and highly trained.
