Speaker. let me begin by saying that the purpose and effect of this bill is to benefit Americans who have long been denied economic justice. It would benefit Americans who fled the Nazi invasion of their homelandthe Czechoslavakiarather than submit to. or become accomplices of. that regime. They came to this country as refugees. and became citizens by February 1948. when the Communists took over Czechoslavakia. Some served in our Armed Forces in World War II and subsequent wars. They. of course. left their property behind. where it was eventially expropriated by the Communist regime either dieectly. or by Communist repudiation of promises of compensation made by previous governments.
