Mr. Speaker. as a cosponsor of H.R. 525. I rise to urge my colleagues to support this bill. which would enable certain Filipino veterans who served with the United States forces in World War II to become naturalized citizens of the United States. From the onset of the United States active Involvement in World War II. Philippine Infantry forces stood side by side with American forces In a common cause. Many times. Filipino fighting units formed the backbone of the defense against Invading Japanese ground forces. Often suffering under extremely adverse conditions and from high casualty rates. the courageous actions of the Filipino forces prolonged the defense of vital installations.
