Mr. Speaker. as the author of this legislation. I rise in strong support of H.R. 150. I would like to thank Mr. MORRISON. the chairman of the Immigration Subcommittee. and the full Judiciary Committee for favorably reporting this legislation to the House floor. Mr. Speaker. H.R. 150 is modest. straightforward legislation and should. I suggest. be the law of the land. It establishes a procedure under which an alien who dies while on active duty with the U.S. Armed Forces would be considered a U.S. citizen at the time of death. Under the bill. the nextofkin or another representative of the decrease determined by the Attorney General could apply for citizenship for the deceased.
