I was temporarily out of the Chamber when the bill was called. I should like to point out that it is a House bill. that it makes a simple but a very necessary amendment to section 406 of the Nationality Act of 1940. Under existing law a naturalized American citizen living abroad. and members of that citizens family. are given protection. Strangely enough. such protection is not provided in the case of a nativeborn American citizen. The amendment would simply afford the same protection to the child or spouse of an Americanborn citizen that is given to the family of a naturalized American citizen.
