Mr. Speaker. I rise in strong support of S. 296. the Allen Armed Forces Immigration Act of 1991. This worthwhile legislel.on will enable citizens of the Philippines. Micronesia. the Marshall Islands. and Palau who have served honorably in the United States Armed Forces for 12 years to become eligible for United States citizenship. An individual will also be eligible if he has served for 6 years and has reenlisted to serve for a total of 12 years. As my colleagues know. since 1947. the United States has allowed natives of the Philippines to serve In our Armed Forces. primarily the United States Navy.
