Mr. Speaker. gentlemen will notice that an oath of citizenship is required to accompany the original naturalization papers. When this came before the committee I asked the man who appeared before the committee some questions. and he suggested that this was theoriginal law which had been followed in the past.and no particular complaints had been made about it. At that time it seemed to me that it was an unreasonable requirement to make a man send his naturalization papers along with his certificate. I think the idea or suggestion of. the gentleman from Illinoisthat there is no necessity for it is correct. and that we ought to cut the requirement out and let him send In a sworn affidavit of when he was naturalized. and that ought to be sufficient. A man who says that he is a naturalborn citizen does not have to send any proof along.
