I wish the RECORD to contain a brief statement by way of explanation of the amendment which has been adopted. While it purports to speak for itself on its face. the fact is that children of American citizens born abroad have no way whatever by which to achieve a certificate of citizenship. Congress provided long ago that those who derive citizenship through naturalization may obtain certificates of citizenship through the court in which the naturalization process was had. but there has been no remedy for a citizen born to American parents. let us say. in -Montreal. The hiatus obviously produced so many dilemmas and so many embarrassments that it is a wonder it was not long ago cured. The Attorney General. in a letter to the chairman of the Senate Committee on Immigration under date of July 5. 1943. recommended the adoption of the proposed measure. and states that the Director of the Bureau of the Budget has told him that there is no objection to the submission of the report. I want that to appear of record.
