The Lodge amendment would set a minimum enlistment of 5 years. whereas my amendment sets one of 3 years. The Lodge amendment makes no mention of naturalization. whereas my amendment spells it out and insures an alien after completion of 3 years honorable service of becoming. eligible for naturalization. The Lodge amendment would suspend until June 30. 1950. the present prohibition on original enlistment of aliens which is now effective in time of peace. whereas my amendment would repeal the prohibition. These are the basic facts of my amendment and I regret that I had to modify my original amendment on the . naturalization section so that it could be considered. Now in order to foster Americanization and build citizenship. the aliens enlisted would be assigned generally to rcgularly established units of the Army. Navy. and Air Force rather than creating special battalions or regiments. and so forth of any national groups.
