' LDCs are intended to include the following countries and areas listed in the NSF report: Greece, North and Central 

 America (excluding Canada), South America, Asia, Africa, and "All other areas." 



2 Latin America is intended to include those areas listed in the NSF report as North and Central America (excluding 

 Canada) and South America. 



The statistical data in this table on number of immigrants are drawn from, NSF, "Highlights, Immigrant Scientists 

 and Engineers, Aug. 20, 1973,' ' p. 2. 



This table uses the figure of $20,000 as the cost of education per person. This figure was used 7 years ago (in 1%7) 

 by Dr. Kidd and the House Government Operations Committee. Some sources say the estimate is high; others say it is 

 conservative. Thus, the estimate ought to be regarded as only an approximation of cost to the sending nations. 



The table is based upon 2 assumptions, (1) that the $20,000 of education cost per person is a reasonable estimate; and 

 (2) that those professionals entering as immigrants are remaining and establishing permanent residency.
