suggestive considered in the light Of
q certain recent event. 1t reads as
follows:
The attention OF Congress is invited
10 the necessity Of regulating by laws
the status Of American women who
marry foreigners, and Of defining
more fully that Of children born in
foreign countries Of American par
ents, who may reside abroad; and
also, Of some further provision regu-
lating or giving legal effect to
marriages Of American citizens con-
tracted in foreign countries.
