I want to point out that any American woman who is married to an alien--end I am not talking about the social riffraff who have purchased tarnished coronets and obsolete titles of nobilitymay now enter without any difficulty. So that this meaningless bill is not granting anything to these American girls. The Department of State has promulgated a rule to the effect that a citizen of the United States who has made definite arrangements to return immediately in good faith to the United States for permanent residence may be considered in a position to overeonle the presumption of noncitizenship and granted a passport valid for the journey to this country. And this ruling affects particularly American wives of alien husbands. So even that mite of pretended generosity must be subtracted from the bill.
