Subject: SLS: The Meaning of American Citizenship
Hi Judy,
I confirmed this text in the law library
of U.C. Berkeley. You could also submit
a FOIA request to INS for a copy of the book.
They might have to photocopy it for you,
from their archives, but it is a terrific
inspiration. The author must have infiltrated
the government, no? :)
