No formality. therefore. must be allowed to stand unnecessarily in the way of employment for any man and woman who can contribute anything of value. Aside from the direct and immediate value in our war effort of the measure under consideration. its value to millions of nativeborn Americans will undoubtedly be immediately apparent to this committee. I believe that every member will agree that these loyal. patriotic. native Americans should be provided a means of identification and certification as simple. as inexpensive. and as exact as we have already provided for persons becoming citizens by naturalization or derivation. The Attorney General has already expressed his approval of the purpose which this measure seeks to accomplish. The Army also so fully subscribes to this purpose that I understand it has undertaken on its own initiative to secure the enactment of similar legislation.
