    (a) The regulations set forth in this part implement the Mutual 
Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 (the ``Act''), as amended, 
Public Law 87-256, 22 U.S.C. 2451, et seq. (1988). The purpose of the 
Act is to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United 
States and the people of other countries by means of educational and 
cultural exchanges. Educational and cultural exchanges assist the 
Department of State in furthering the foreign policy objectives of the 
United States. These exchanges are defined by section 102 of the Act, 22 
U.S.C. 2452, and section 101(a)(15)(J) of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act, as amended, 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(J).
    (b) The Secretary of State of the Department of State facilitates 
activities specified in the Act, in part, by designating public and 
private entities to act as sponsors of the Exchange Visitor Program. 
Sponsors may act independently or with the assistance of third parties. 
The purpose of the Program is to provide foreign nationals with 
opportunities to participate in educational and cultural programs in the 
United States and return home to share their experiences, and to 
encourage Americans to participate in educational and cultural programs 
in other countries. Exchange visitors enter the United States on a J 
visa. The regulations set forth in this subpart are applicable to all 
sponsors.
