In March of this year. I attempted to close this gap through the introduction of S. 1466. This measure would permit the Federal Communications Commission to issue a license for the operation of amateur radio stations to aliens admitted to the United States for permanent residence who have filed under section 334(f)- of the Immigration and Nationality Act a declaration of intention to become a citizen of the United States. Like the visiting alien. the applicant under this bill would be subject to review by the appropriate Federal agencies to insure that the national security would be protected. and like the visting alien. the applicant can be summarily denied a license for security reasons. Unlike the visting alien. however. the declared alien would have to submit to the same examination and licensing procedures as those required for an American citizen.
