I am quite familiar with the provisions of this measure. Mr. President. Under the nationality law. if a person who has become a naturalized citizen leaves the United States and remains away for a period of 5 years. as I recall. he loses his citizenship. it is then automatically revoked and ended. and thereafter if he wishes to return to the United States. he can return only under the quota as an alien. Of course. during the war there were a number of our citizens who could not return. As the Senator has stated. there were extensions of the time for their return. up until December 1946.
