By virtue of the authority vested in me by the Military Selective Service Act of 1967 (62 Stat. 604, as amended), I hereby prescribe the following amendments of the Selective Service Regulations prescribed by No. 10292 of September 25, 1951, as amended, and constituting portions of Chapter XVI of Title 32 of the Code of Federal Regulations:

1. Section 1611.2, Persons Not Required to be Registered, is amended by adding to paragraph (b) a new subparagraph (11) to read as follows:

"(11) He is a person who, immediately preceding the time of his application for admission into the United States, has been employed continuously for one year by a firm or corporation or other legal entity or an affiliate or subsidiary thereof and who seeks to enter the United States temporarily in order to continue to render his services to the same employer or a subsidiary or affiliate thereof in a capacity that is managerial, executive, or involves specialized knowledge, or is the spouse or minor child of any such person if accompanying him or following to join him."

Section 1611.2 is further amended by deleting the word "or" after the semicolon at the end of subparagraph (9) of paragraph (b) and by substituting, in lieu of the period at the end of subparagraph (10) of paragraph (b), a semicolon followed by the word "or".

2. Section 1611.2, Persons Not Required to be Registered, is further amended by adding a new paragraph (h) to read as follows:

"(h) Each alien who is in the category described in subparagraph (11) of paragraph (b) on this section must have in his possession and available for examination a visa or other official document issued to him by a diplomatic, consular, or immigration officer of the United States evidencing that he has entered the United States pursuant to the provisions of section 101(a) (15) (L) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, Public Law 414, 82d Congress, as amended by Public Law 91-225, approved April 7, 1970."
