Mr. Chairman. I want very briefly to state the procedure that all aliens will have to adopt if this bill is enacted into law in order to become naturalized citizens. I have mentioned the fact that the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization will have general control of the entire subject. I have named the courts that will have jurisdiction in such cases. Now I wish to state what will be required of the aliens. In answer to some questions that have been addressed to me I have also mentioned the fact that the immigrant will be given a certificate when lie lands upon our shores. which will contain his description. the vessel. if he came by a vessel. that brought him to our shores. and other facts to identify him. At any time he may make his declaration of intention to become a citizen of the United States. That declaration he can make before the clerk of any of the courts authorized to exercise jurisdiction in naturalization cases.
