She had completed all the paperwork. answered all the questions. and was practicing the Pledge of Allegiance. and the names of the Presidents the night of her death. Tragically. she died the night before her citizenship could be confirmed. Mr. Speaker. these are extraordinary circumstances. This was a woman who exemplified the finest of what is American. and she was denied fulfillment of her dream only hours before citizenship was to have been bestowed. Ours is a nation of immigrants and our country would have been enriched if Mrs. Kaszkiewicz could have become a citizen. The United States can still realize that enrichment if we grant this welldeserved citizenship posthumously.
