Sec. 2508. Foreign participants; admission into the United 
        States as nonimmigrants; removal
        
    In order to provide for assistance by foreign nationals in the 
training of volunteers, and to permit effective implementation of Peace 
Corps projects with due regard for the desirability of cost-sharing 
arrangements, where appropriate, the President may make provision for 
transportation, housing, subsistence, or per diem in lieu thereof, and 
health care or health and accident insurance for foreign nationals 
engaged in activities authorized by this chapter while they are away 
from their homes, without regard to the provisions of any other law: 
Provided, however, That per diem in lieu of subsistence furnished to 
such persons shall not be at rates higher than those prescribed by the 
Secretary of State pursuant to section 2679 of title 22. Such persons, 
and persons coming to the United States under contract pursuant to 
section 2509(a)(5) of this title, may be admitted to the United States, 
if otherwise qualified, as nonimmigrants under section 1101(a)(15) of 
title 8 for such time and under such conditions as may be prescribed by 
regulations promulgated by the Secretary of State and the Attorney 
General. A person admitted under this section who fails to maintain the 
status under which he was admitted or who fails to depart from the 
United States at the expiration of the time for which he was admitted, 
or who engages in activities of a political nature detrimental to the 
interests of the United States, or in activities not consistent with the 
security of the United States, shall, upon the warrant of the Attorney 
General, be taken into custody and promptly removed pursuant to chapter 
4 of title II of the Immigration and Nationality Act [8 U.S.C. 1221 et 
seq.] \1\ proceedings under this section shall be summary and the 
findings of the Attorney General as to matters of fact shall be 
conclusive.

``Removal''.
