But this problem can occur at this time. I thought it would be helpful in such cases to the relatives of persons holding U.S. passports who have been out of the United States 2 or 3 years if those passport holders were required to come before the appropriate officials within 3 years. as presently provided by law. Further. under the old law. which has been nullified by the Supreme Court. a naturalized citizen remaining in the country of his birth for longer than 3 years would lose his citizenship and a naturalized citizen remaining in a country not of his birth would lose his citizenship if he remained there for a period of 5 years. The Supreme Court has so ruled. It does not follow that it is a sufficient basis for Congress changing the specific periods of passport validity.
