Mr. Speaker. this resolution makes in order the consideration of the bill H. R. 387 which comes here with the unanimous report of the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. The bill is an amendment to a section of the Immigration Code. Briefly. this is what it does. In the event that the parents of a child move to a foreign country and become naturalized before that child becomes of age. the childs nationality naturally follows that of its parents. We passed an act which provided that if that child desired to return to this country add resume his citizenship here. he could do so of his own free will up to a certain date in 1945. Before that time had expired. however. the war intervened. therefore. a good many people were stranded in foreign countries. and some unfortunate persons are losing their citizenship which they could have regained except for the fact the war prevented them from returning to the United States. which was their native country.
