Mr. President. I should like to make it clear to the Senator from New Mexico that this is a bill to permit the naturalization of former citizens of the United States who have lost their citizenship by reason of voting in either one of two particular political. elections in Italy. The elections in question are those of June 2. 1946. and April 18. 1948. The major question in both those elections. as Senators know. was communism. Many hundreds of thousands of United States citizens. of Italian birth or extraction. wrote letters to their friends and relatives in Italy. urging them to vote in these elections against communism.
