In this bill. we avoid using the word "citizenship" and we use the word "nationality." A man who loses his citizenship under the terms of a penal statute remains an American. He does not become an alien although he is not entitled to participate in political or other activities. However. a person who loses nationality under the Immigration and Nationality Act becomes an alien. not necessarily subject to deportation but an alien subject to all the rights and also to all the limitations that our laws impose on aliens. To paraphrase the words of the Presidentlet us recognize by law a fact that is plain to everybodythat when a citizen knowingly participates in the Communist conspiracy. he no longer holds allegiance to the United States.
