R. 7130 will add a new ground for expatriation. to the present grounds contained in the laws such as voluntary renunciation. taking an oath of allegiance to a. foreign power. serving in the armed forces of a foreign country. and so forth. I would like to direct the attention of the House to something that is sometimes not appreciated about this law and the concept which underlies it. The right of expatriation Is itself something that distinguishes a slavestate from a free people. None of the dictatorships. including the vicious tyranny that is now settled upon so much of mankind for the Kremlin. has ever recognized the right of citizens or subjects to emigrate and renounce their ties. No tyranny could stand the enunciation and implementation of such a right. Yet we have always observed it fully.
