Speaker. being the author of the bill. and the inquiry of the gentleman from Tennessee being a proper one. I want to make a brief explanation of the bill. Under present law. anyone who applies for naturalization must in his application state not only the country in which he was born but who is the particular king. prince. potentate. or government in control. When he is naturalized. he must not only make a general renunciation of allegiance to all foreign princes. potentates. states. or sovereignties but he must make a specific renunciation. This bill in no way changes existing law with reference to naturalization. The requirements of the existing law are in no way disturbed or affected by this bill. except that it dispenses with particular allegations to renunciation of allegiance.
