This provision. however. is not retroactive and therefore does not cover those individuals who have already lost their citizenship for this reason. The number involved is extremely small. I know personally of only two such individuals. but have been told there are as many as nine. In the two cases with which I am familiar the individuals were not aware of the fact that they were classified as naturalized citizens and required to meet the residence provisions of the Nationality Act of 1940. They have. therefore. inadvertently lost their American citizenship. The injustice which they have suffered has already been recognized by Congress.
