Mr. Chairman. the first point I want to make in the discussion of this bill is that although the name of the chairman of the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization is on the bill it is not his bill. It is not a bill even from the committee. It is a bill that was presented to the committee by the War Department and the Navy Department with the request that we pass it. The only part the committee has had in preparing the bill is to amend the bill as presented in the first place by inserting the four words "in time of war" in two places so that this reenlistment or this service after court martial and automatic loss of citizenship must be done in time of war.
