However. under these laws. as they are now writtenwe now propose that they be amendedpersons other than citizens of the United States could receive the specified benefits. We wish to have the benefits limited to citizens of the United States. Some 2.000 persons have received warrisk payments under these two acts. One of the committee amendments would amend section 301 of the act so as to exclude noncitizens of the United States from the category of persons required to be subject to coverage under the Longshoremens and Harbor Workers Compensation Act. The remaining committee amendment simply calls for the correction of one word. I shall be very happy to answer any questions which my colleagues may have in regard to the amendments.
