Pursuant thereto. we have a letter from the Department of State under date of January 12. 1970. which states: The circumstances in the Ryukyu Islands. that is Okinawa. are completely different and we definitely do not anticipate a requirement for special immigration legislation in connection with their return to the Japanese administration. As I said before. this is a very unique situation. The beneficiaries of this legislation are decendants of Americans. Speaking for myself. I know that assurance includes the members of the Subcommittee on Immigration and Nationality as well as of the full committee. We would not be interested at all in entertaining any legislation where similar action on behalf of any other area which reverted to a foreign country.
