No. The first sections of the bill give to the Indians the right to apply before a naturalization court to establish their entitlement and their qualifications for unrestricted citizenship. Section 5 of the committee amendment originally proposed that the children of Indians who establish their right In naturalization court should automatically become fullfledged citizens and be issued writs of competency when they became 21. That is in the bill and would not be changed by the amendment. in fact I think I suggested that provision when the committee was working on the bill. I pointed out that when the parent became an unrestricted citizen. that he had been adjudged competent and very properly should replace the Government as guardian of his minor child.
