1st Session No. 606
PROVIDING FOR THE NATURALIZATION OF CERTAIN
ALIEN SPOUSES OF CITIZENS OF THE UNITED
STATES
MAY 10, 1939.--Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the state
of the Union and ordered to be printed
Mr. SCHULTE, from the Committee oil Immigration and Naturaliza-
tion, submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany H. I. 5401]
The Committee on Immigration and Naturalization, to whom was
referred the bill (H. R. 5401) to provide for the naturalization of
certain alien spouses of citizens of the United States, and to validate
the naturalization of certain persons, having considered the same,
report it back to the House without amendment, and with the recom-
mendation that the bill do pass. The author of the bill, Congress-
man Sparkman, appeared before the Committee and made a state-
ment in support of the same, and stated that the bill simply clarified
certain provisions of the law, and the bill is drawn with a view to
clarifying and bringing about uniformity throughout all of the courts.
This bill is identical with a bill introduced by Mr. Sparkman in the
Seventy-fifth Congress, H. R. 6607, which was reported and passed
by the House, no action being taken on same in the Senate.
A representative of the Labor Department was called to explain
the provisions of the bill. He stated that this bill would clarify the
law, and was very much desired by the courts and the Department.
A full report was made on the identical bill in the Seventy-fifth
Congress, setting forth the reasons for the bill. It also, in compliance
with paragraph 2-A of rule XIII of the House of Representatives,
set out a comparative print of the bill, making the amendment of the
statute or part thereof showing the same in parallel columns. There-
fore, that report of the Seventy-fifth Congress, first session, in order
to comply with the rule referred to, and to give additional information,
is hereto attached and made a part of this report. There is also at-
tached to this report a memorandum from the Department of Labor
which more fully explains the bill.
There was no objection made to this bill by anyone during the public
hearing at the last session, or at this session during this hearing.](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.immigration/nccu0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
