I rise here to make an observation on a problem Which is of vital importance to our armed forces. My committee tried to Correct a number of evils that now exist in regard to aliens in the armed forces of the�United States. We tried to secure -the power to study the situation more -carefully to suggest remedial legislation .but on the 18th. of June the Congress voted down a resolution brought In by the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization to clear up and adjust the status of aliens who have been In this country for a number of years but who cannot prove that they are legally in the country. Some time ago the House passed the Second War Powers Act. one section of which in substance provides for the immediate naturalization of aliens serving in our armed forces. However. this provision applies only to aliens who entered this country legally. An alien who cannot prove that he is legally in the country cannot take advantage of the War Powers Act.
