Mr. President. I would like to bring to the attention of my colleagues a recent article in the Washington Times dealing with the large proportion of Nobel Prize winners in the United States who are immigrants. As reported in this article. while only approximately 8 percent of the American population was foreignborn as of 1990. approximately one third of American winners of the Nobel Prize have been immigrants. The Times also reports that. according to the National Research Council. "immigrants have won 32 percent of the U.S. Nobel Prizes for physics. 31 percent of the medicine and economics prizes. and 26 percent of the chemistry prizes." This year. Austrianborn American Walter Kohn won the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Daniel Tsui. born in China. won the Nobel Prize in Physics as a naturalized American. Mr. President.
