Against the policy purposes of the U.S. immigration and international education programs, this report examines several problem areas selected on the basis of their significant relevance to: (1) U.S. foreign policy, (2) congressional interest or concern, recommendations advanced. Problem areas include: (1) foreign and exchange students, (2) brain drains and overflows, (3) illegal aliens and legitimate refugees, and (4) special Mexico/U.S.A. considerations. The paper is designed primarily as a stimulator and reference guide for policy makers and practitioners, and for those who influence them. (Author/PC)
