I think. is true. As it passed the House time bill provided that only bills relating to coinage and currency should receive the prior approval of the President. This report simply places immigration measures on the same footing as those relating to coinage and currency. On page 12. in section 15. and line 4. the words "citizen of the Philippines" are stricken out and the words "person who is not a citizen or subject of a foreign country" are inserted in their stead. The purpose of this change is to allow Americans.who are residents of the islands and who possess the same qualifications as those possessed by natives to vote without relinquishing their Amiericaq citizenship.
