termination of the Vietnam hostilities, or thereafter during any other 
period which the President by Executive order shall designate as a 
period in which Armed Forces of the United States are or were engaged in 
military operations involving armed conflict with a hostile foreign 
force, and who is applying for naturalization during such periods under 
section 329 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended by this 
Act [8 U.S.C. 1440], for filing a petition for naturalization or issuing 
a certificate of naturalization upon his admission to citizenship, and
