Mr. Speaker. I rise today In full support of H.R. 525. the Filipino war veterans naturalization bill. I commend Congressman DYMALLY for having introduced this legislation. I believe we owe a debt of gratitude to Filipinos who served in the U.S. Armed Forces and fought for our country during World War II. This leglslation also allows Filipinos who served In the Philippine Army. the Philippine Scouts. and recognized guerrilla units to be naturalized. These Individuals assisted this Nation during one of the most critical periods in American history. Their service to our country was all that we could expect of any citizen. and more than we should expect of citizens of other nations. I feel that offering these individuals special naturalization status Is the least we can do to show our gratitude for their unswerving support of this country. I urge my colleagues to show vigorous support for this measure.
