We should take time to listen to members of the Committee on the Judiciary explain what effect is sought by each section. and all of us who question or disagree with the intent or language should have ample opportunity to be heard. Provisions in this bill have farreaching effects upon human lives all over the world. Among the provisions of the bill which I consider desirable is section 311 establishing the principle that race shall have no bearing on any persons eligibility for citizenship. In discussing this section which applies to Japanese and other Asiatics in the South Pacific area. I have conferred with Mr. Mike Masaoka. national legislative director of the AntiDiscrimination Committee of the Japanese American Citizens League.
