In the interim rule persons residing outside the United States are 
directed to ``take the oath of allegiance abroad before any diplomatic 
or consular officer of the United States * * *'' This reference has

of allegiance in connection with passport applications.

the fourth and fifth lines, remove the phrase: ``for an interview under

Citizens of the United States at Birth, in the table of contents, under

``301.1 Procedures.''


Sec. 301.1  [Corrected]

    3. On page 35112, in the second column, in Sec. 301.1(a)(2), in the
