Farben who share the view of the Justice Department that General Aniline & Film is German. not Swiss. would not be affected in any way by this legislation. My only regret at the outcome of the conference was our failure to agree to more equitable provisions for the consideration of claims by Americans who were not citizens at the time of their losses or imprisonment. It has always been my view that all Americans should be treated equally regardless of the date of their naturalization. The administration. however. was strongly opposed to the inclusion of any socalled later nationals in this program. and the House had rejected amendments offered for this purpose during the consideration of the war claims bill in that body. Despite these considerations. the conferees. in my judgment. would have been willing to write into the bill specific provisions for the payment of claims of later nationals as provided in the Senate bill out of any funds remaining in the war claims fund after the payment of the other awards certified by the Commission.
