Mr. Speaker. today I am introducing legislation to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to exempt U.S. nationals from certain naturalization requirements. My bill seeks to ease the requirements for American Samoans residing in the United States in order for them to become U.S. citizens. The proposed bill would remove the requirements as to understanding the English language. history. and civics of the United States. This test has become the single greatest obstacle In preventing American Samoans from becoming U.S. citizens. The American Samoans are intimidated by this requirement. while others are insulted at being treated c. !f they are alienswhich they are not.
