A bill to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act, to facilitate the admission of aliens for temporary employment.

Summary

Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to exclude from the definition of the term "immigrant" those persons entering the United States for a period of not more than one year to perform temporary services or labor if the Secretary of Labor has determined and certified to the Attorney General that there are not sufficient workers available at the aliens destination who are willing and able to perform such services or labor. Directs the Secretary to refer to employers who request such certification, workers in the number desired, able and qualified, and who agree to present themselves to commence employment on the date and for the period specified. Authorizes the Attorney General, upon receipt of such certification by the Secretary, to extend the terms of an alien's admission for periods not exceeding one year in the aggregate.
