Mr. Speaker. I rise today In strong support of H.R. 783. the nationality and naturalization amendments. I would like to congratulate my colleague. Congressman MAZZOLI. for his leadership on this legislation. I also would like to commend Chairman BROOKs and members of the committee and subcommittee for their hard work and dedication which has resulted in H.R. 783 successfully reaching the floor of the House today. Until now. the law prevented equitable treatment regarding the citizenship of people who are similarly situated but for the gender of their parent who was a U.S. citizen. This legislation signifies the resolve of Congress to eliminate gender bias wherever it might exist.
