Mr. Speaker. I rise today in strong support of H.R. 783. the Nationality and Naturalization Amendments of 1993. I would like to express my deep thanks to my very good friends Mr. MAZZOLI. Mr. McCoLLUM. and Mr. BERMAN for all of their hard work on this bill over the past 2 years. H.R. 783 is a testament to them. and the skill and dedication of their staffs. In particular. I am pleased that the bill incorporates H.R. 283. the Equity in Citizenship Act. legislation I authored to remove a longstanding vestige of discrimination against women in our nationality laws. Prior to 1934. our nationality laws allowed only men to transmit their American citizenship to their children born overseas.
