Speech #820204377

This action was not taken because the man was a son of a brigadier general. but because he was a worthy individual. I should like to make a clarifying statement. This bill would enable the 21yearold stepson of a brigadier general of the United States Air Force to file the petition for naturalization required by law notwithstanding the provisions of the Nationality Act relating to requirements for residence and declaration of intention. The beneficiary of the bill was lawfully admitted into the United States for permanent residence in August 1947. He is presently serving in the United States Army and is desirous of accepting an appointment to the United States Military Academy beginning in August 1952.
