My Lord;

BRITISH EMBASSY,

WASHINGTON, Dẹ V.,

August 16th, 1982.

372

I have the honour to report that I have been approached by His Majesty's Consul at Savannah with regard to the game of a British subject, Mr. S. R. Moore,

Mr. who resides permanently near Savannah, Georgia,

Не

Moore has served twenty-two years in the British Colonial Service and is in receipt of a British pension. proposed to take out his "first papers" of American citizenship and is anxious to know whether this astion will in any way prejudice or affect the continuance of his pension, or whether there is any course prescribed for such a contingensy by which he may continue to re- asive this pension not only when he has taken out his "first papers" but alas when he is fully naturalised.

While I do not imagine that a change

of nationality will invalidate Mr. Moore's pension rights,

I have been unable to find any spesific ruling on this subject and I should assordingly be grateful if Your Lordship would inform me as to the nature of the reply

I should make to Mr. Moore's enquiry.

I have the honour to be

with the highest rospect,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

(For the Ambassador)

Marquess Curson of Kedleston, I.G.,

(Sd) H. G. Chilton.
