     Messrs. Chairmen and Members of  the Subcommittees:

     As you requested, we are providing our  views on federal,

state, and private activities pertaining  to U.S. citizens who

attend foreign medical schools and return  to this country to

practice medicine.  We have addressed  this issue in two

reports--the first in 1980 and the  second in September 1985 in

response to a request from Chairman  Pepper.1  Our statement

today summarizes these two reports and provides  our views on

proposed legislation  (H.R. 3485) introduced by Chairman Pepper

on October 2, 1985, to address the  issues raised in our recent

report.
