Interpreter Need For Visas Hit
Redwood City physician Dr Henry Mayer complained the government required him to hire a State Department interpreter at 7 a day before granting visas to three English speaking Russian women he invited. He said the demand came after an 18 month wait for approval and that interpreters were not needed for non Russian speaking tourists in Russia. The Russian visitors would pay their own travel costs and Mayer sought donations to cover the department bill for the 30 day visit.
