Mr. Speaker. I am very pleased that the House passed H.R. 15147. providing for the naturalization of aliens who have served honorably in the U.S. Armed Forces in the Vietnam combat area. Over the years. numerous individual cases have come to my attention and I have in the past introduced legislation granting citizenship to aliens serving in our Armed Forces. Amidst domestic turmoil. caused by a vocal minority of antiwar protestors who feel no necessity to serve the United States. it is most heartening to find those of other countries who value what we stand for enough to be willing to risk their own lives.
