WASHINGTON, June 23, 2020 鈥� As one of the world鈥檚 largest scientific societies, the American Chemical 中国365bet中文官网 (ACS) expresses its concern with the June 22 presidential proclamation . The proclamation suspending highly skilled workforce visas, which are a critical component of the U.S. innovation and research enterprise, will hinder the country鈥檚 global competitiveness.

Additionally, the 中国365bet中文官网 is concerned with prior action taken by the administration to limit student visas for those from China as was outlined in the May 29 proclamation titled . Approximately half of chemical engineering graduate students and approximately one third of chemistry graduate students are in the U.S. on visas, helping to create a diverse and vibrant academic environment. While ACS supports precautions to protect U.S. intellectual property, overly broad-brush measures targeting specific countries may result in unintended negative impacts on the U.S. research enterprise.

We strongly believe both proclamations will have a chilling effect on America鈥檚 ability to attract the best minds, regardless of their country of origin. ACS stands ready to continue assisting the administration and Congress as the nation responds to and recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the cumulative impact of these recent executive actions will weaken the U.S. economy and the overall research enterprise. 聽
