Mr. Speaker. House Joint Resolution 238 removed the racial bar to naturalization. The resolution passed the House by unanimous consent. In the Senate it was amended so that it excluded from its provisions certain peoples. In conference the Senate receded from its position with respect to this class of people. but it insisted that we include in the bill a provision inter alia which makes it possible to revoke the citizenship of anybody benefited through enactment of this legislation who in a period of 5 years after he became a citizen of the United States should become a member of any Communist or Communistfront organizations.
