                    NO SOCIAL SECURITY FOR NAZIS ACT

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, as chairman of the Ways and 
Means Subcommittee on Social Security, the committee of jurisdiction 
over who receives Social Security benefits, I am introducing, along 
with Ranking Member Becerra and now 35 original cosponsors, the No 
Social Security for Nazis Act.
  The world must never forget the 6 million Jews and other innocents 
murdered by the Holocaust. America has worked to prevent Nazis from 
entering the country and reaping the benefits of U.S. citizenship, 
including Social Security. However, due to a loophole, some Nazis who 
came to America continue to receive Social Security benefits. That is 
just plain wrong.
  Our bipartisan bill would stop benefits from going to denaturalized 
Nazis. It also stops benefits from going to Nazis who renounce their 
citizenship as part of a settlement.
  I thank Ranking Member Becerra for working with me on this important 
bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge the House to act quickly and pass the No Social 
Security for Nazis Act.
