Mr. Chairman. the purpose of this amendment is to preserve the citizenship of any naturalized citizen who has lived in the United States for 25 years. and thereafter obtains employment or goes to some other country for business purposes. If he goes to the country of which he was a national. at the endof 3 years he would lose his citizenship. If he goes to a third country. at the end of 5 years he would lose his citizenship. It is the opinion of the committee that after having resided in the United States for 25 years a citizen who has been a naturalized citizen for that period of time should be permitted to stay wherever his business requires him for a period in excess of the 3- and 5year periods.
