I will explain the situation to the Senator. The joint resolution. as it came from the House. contained a flat provision that no relief should be given to any alien. The General Accounting Office said that if that provision were continued in the joint resolution. the General Accounting Office would require proof of citizenship by official records before any money could be paid to a citizen. The Senate struck out that provision and restated the provision in the existing law. This provision was inserted in an effort to reach an agreement with the House. so that all that would have to be presented would be the affidavit of the individual himself. and there would be no obligation to provide official records. such as birth certificates or naturalization certificates.
