State that the two-year foreign residence requirement for Exchange 
Visitors under the Exchange Visitor Program be waived.
    (c) Membership. The Exchange Visitor Waiver Review Board consists of 
no fewer than three members and two alternates, of whom no fewer than

on the need for the delivery of health care services to underserved 
populations.
