* Together with No. 727, Sailer et al. v. Leer et al., on appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
1. See, for example, King v. Smith, 392 U.S. 309 (1968); Shapiro v. Thompson, 394 U.S. 618 (1969); Goldberg v. Kelly, 397 U.S. 254 (1970); Rosado v. Wyman, 397 U.S. 397 (1970); Dandridge v. Williams, 397 U.S. 471 (1970); Wyman v. James, 400 U.S. 309 (1971).
2. The suit is brought on behalf of appellee and similarly situated Arizona resident aliens who, but for their inability to meet the Arizona residence requirement, are eligible to receive welfare benefits under state-administered federal categorical assistance programs for the permanently and totally disabled, the aged, and the blind.
4. It was stipulated that the class of persons the appellees represent approximates 65 to 70 cases annually. This figure stands in striking contrast to the 585,000 persons in the Commonwealth on categorical assistance and 85,000 on general assistance. Department of Public Welfare Report of Public Assistance, Dec. 31, 1969.
5. See Oyama v. California, 332 U.S. 633, 644-646 (1948); Korematsu v. United States, 323 U.S. 214, 216 (1944); Hirabayashi v. United States, 320 U.S. 81, 100 (1943).
7. McCready v. Virginia, 94 U.S. 391 (1877); Patsone v. Pennsylvania, 232 U.S. 138 (1914).
8. Howenstein v. Lynham, 100 U.S. 483 (1880); Blythe v. Hinckley, 180 U.S. 333 (1901).
9. Terrace v. Thompson, 263 U.S. 197 (1923); Porterfield v. Webb, 263 U.S. 225 (1923); Webb v. O'Brien, 263 U.S. 313 (1923); Frick v. Webb, 263 U.S. 326 (1923); but see Oyama v. California, 332 U.S. 633 (1948).
10. E.g., Passenger Cases, 7 How. 283, 492 (1849); Crandall v. Nevada, 6 Wall. 35, 48-49 (1868); Twining v. New Jersey, 211 U.S. 78, 97 (1908); Edwards v. California, 314 U.S. 160, 178-181 (DOUGLAS, J., concurring), 183-185 (Jackson, J., concurring) (1941); Shapiro v. Thompson, 34 U.S. at 629; Oregon v. Mitchell, 400 U.S. 112, 285 (opinion of STEWART, J.) (1970).
12. H.R.Rep. No. 1300, 81st Cong., 1st Sess., 53, 153-154; S.Rep. No. 1669, 81st Cong., 2d Sess.; H.R.Conf.Rep. No. 2771, 81st Cong., 2d Sess., 118-119.
13. H.R.Rep. No. 615, 74th Cong., 1st Sess., 18; S.Rep. No. 628, 74th Cong., 1st Sess., 29.
14. We have no occasion to decide whether Congress, in the exercise of the immigration and naturalization power, could itself enact a statute imposing on aliens a uniform nationwide residency requirement as a condition of federally funded welfare benefits.
