Mr. President. it is our view that we should exercise discretion and caution in remedying discriminatory provisions of current law. and not take any action that would bestow citizenship on individuals who assisted the Nazi regime in its reign of terror. Section 207 of the substitute bill would correct an anomaly in the Immigration and Nationality Act involving physical presence of certain persons who became U.S. citizens on the basis of their birth abroad to a U.S. citizen parent and an alien parent. Persons of this background who were born between 1934 and 1952 were required to spend specified periods of time residing in the United States. Failure to do so would. and did. result in the loss of U.S. citizenship.
