Congress finds the following:
(1) One-third of the Nobel Prizes awarded to citizens of
the United States have been won by foreign-born individuals who
became naturalized citizens before or after winning the award,
including Enrico Fermi, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in
1938, and Albert Einstein, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics
in 1921.
(2) Individuals wishing to come to the United States as
nonimmigrants to study or work temporarily in the life
sciences, physical sciences, or engineering are required to
undergo and pass a security check known as a Visas Mantis,
which is designed to protect against illegal transfers of
sensitive technology. Many of these foreign-born individuals
subsequently become permanent residents and citizens of the
United States.
(3) Nonimmigrant alien students earn a high percentage of
doctoral degrees conferred in the sciences. A National Science
Foundation report in 2002 noted that nonimmigrant aliens
account for 30 percent of doctoral degrees conferred in the
life sciences, 37 percent conferred in the physical sciences,
and 52 percent conferred in engineering.
(4) The United States relies heavily upon nonimmigrant
alien post-doctoral fellows for university teaching and
research. Fifty-six percent of post-doctoral fellows in the
life sciences are nonimmigrant aliens, 67 percent in the
physical sciences are nonimmigrant aliens, 69 percent in
engineering are nonimmigrant aliens.
(5) The Council of Graduate Schools reported in March 2004
that 90 percent of United States graduate schools suffered a
serious decline in applications from nonimmigrant aliens for
the academic year beginning in September 2004. Applications
declined across all fields, but most precipitously in the
fields subject to Visas Mantis security checks.

State, in consultation with the Director of the Office of
Science and Technology Policy, shall provide greater
specificity in the Technology Alert List used under the

(5), a security check issued with respect to an individual
classified within a nonimmigrant classification shall remain
valid with respect to a change of the individual to another
nonimmigrant classification so long as the security check
approved in connection with the first classification is in
substantially the same field as the field involved in the
subsequent classification.
(5) Exception.--Paragraphs (1), (2), (3), and (4) shall not
apply with respect to an applicant for a security check insofar
as the Secretary of State determines that the application of
such paragraph with respect to such applicant is not in the
national security interests of the United States.

check has been provided, the number of such individuals who
have been approved for a visa after such a check, and the
distribution of such individuals by country of nationality; and
(3) average processing time to complete security checks for
applicants in each such nonimmigrant visa classification for
each country of nationality.
(d) Visas Mantis Security Check Program and Check Defined.--For
purposes of this section:
(1) The terms ''Visas Mantis security check program'' and
''Program'' mean the program that implements the requirements
of section 212(a)(3)(A)(i)(II) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(3)(A)(i)(II)) (relating to
the exclusion of nonimmigrants who may unlawfully export goods,
technology, or sensitive information).
(2) The term ''security check'' means a security clearance
under the Program.
