Accused killer of Vietnamese gets hate crime charge
Gunnar Lindberg, accused of stabbing to death a Vietnamese American in Tustin, Calif., on Jan. 28, will stand trial for a hate crime as well as special circumstance robbery and the use of a knife, according to the Orange County District Attorney's office. The 21-year-old defendant was scheduled to be arraigned on May 14 with the added hate crime special circumstance,which means he may face the death penalty upon conviction. The victim was 24-year-old Thien Minh Ly, a UCLA graduate .
Evidence of Lindberg's bragging about killing a "jap" in a letter, and his membership in a white supremacist group, was brought forth in a May 1 hearing by the District Attorney's office, and may have led to the added hate crime charge.
Lindberg admitted writing the letter but denied involvement in the killing of Ly.
Also charged in the killing was Domenic Christopher, who was 17 at the time of the crime but who will be tried as an adult.

For the class of '96, gradua' tion is a few years and thousands of miles away.
This is no ordinary class of students. Among them: David M. Brown, U.S. Nauy flight surgeon; Yllonne D. Cagle, occupational medicine physician; Fernando Caldeiro. aerospace I shuttle systems engineer; Lee M. Morin, aerospace medicine resident; Lisa M. Nowak, systems engineer; Joh1! J . Phillips, space plasma physicist; HeidemarieM. Stefanyshyn-Piper, underwater ship husbandry project officer; and Daniel M. Tani, manager, Pegasus Launch Operations. They and others are members of NASA's Class of '96 astronauts-in -training.
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif.-The second Japanese American to be chosen for the NASA space program is here in mid-May on business. His business is managing a team of 25 engineers in the launch operations of the unmanned, air-launched Pegasus rocket. Pegasus is scheduled for a May 15 flight.
Dan Tam bas arrived here after a whirlwind week in which he was announced as a member of the 1996 class of astronauts to be trained at NASA headquart rs in Houston. He is employed by Orbital Sciences Corp. ofDuUes, Va., a relatively smal l aerospace finn that boasts two former astro-

nauts and now, two employees who have been selected: Tani and colleague Janice Voss, a member of the NASA class of '90 and a veteran of two space missions already.
NASA announces a new class of astronauts-in-training every two years. In this latest crop, Tani and 34 other classmates begin a oneyear shuttle training program in Houston on Aug 12. In that y sr, they learn about general shuttle systems and how NASA operates. In the second year, mor specialized training may occur. "Th goal is to be selected for a particular flight," Tani told Pacific CitLzPlI "Once selected, you begin trai ning for a year to a year-and-a-balf." Optimistically, in two-and-a-half to three years, Tani could be on a shuttle mission or on a shuttle pace station.
ASTRONAUT-Dan Tanl poses next to a Pegasus rocket.
It haa not be n B long journey to this mom nt. Tani first filed an application in the summer of1993, along with thousands of oth rB.

Membership dues are the prinCipal opllon being used to maintaIn a balanced budget. To underwrite the changes in proposed ex· penses, membership dues Increases are proposed for Budgets Band C. While other sources of revenue Including corporate. foun· dation, and federal grants will be pursued, the yield from those efforts Is unknown and cannot be fairly portrayed here,
BUDGET A, No change in member hip dues is proposed. While lolal annual m m· bershlp payments have dropped from 20.294 at the end of 1994 to aboul 16,900 at tho and of 1995, no further drops in memborshlps at anticipated or projected,
BUDGET B, To oblaln a balancod budget, a dues Increase of $6 for 1997 and an addl· tlonal $1 In 1998 would be nocessary. The typical dues Increaee at tho end of 1998 would be $7,
BUDGET C, In addition to the $7 du Increase In Column B, an additional $7 would be necessary to publish the Pacific C/tIzon 86
a weekly newspaper, Tho $7lnCfOa8e would be Implemented In 1997 for a total of $13, The total Increase In dues al the end of 1998 would be $14, In addition to a membor hlp duos Increase, tho added exposure of the Pacific CitIzen Is oxpected to generate rov· enues trom advertl Ing and oth r ources of $50,377,

OVERVIEW (Continued from page 4)
Consumables 12. Postage & Delfvery-The
average expenses for 1993-95. They are likely to rise from the 1995 figures as JACL gets back into handling membership mailings on a more routine basis. Postage costs also should go up since Headquarc ters is now handling all mailings instead of contracting out the mailings,
13. Printing & Copying-The average expense for 1993-95. Cos1s include printing membership brochures and other publications, and routine copy charges.
14, OfflceSupplles -The average expense for 1993-95. Compared to the budgeted figures for 1996, the average reflects an increase of about $1,000. The increase will be absorbed by inflat j on ~
ary costs and increased costs due to handling all mailings internally Instead of using an external mailinhouse,
Paclflc Citizen Charges 15. Editorials-The expense is
for the writing of editorials. The amount IS about the same as the projected expense for 1996 It '4ould go up if the PC is published on a weekly basis.
16 Advertising-ThiS reflects costs 10 obtalO advertISIng for the PaCific Citizen" The charge remains about the same as in 1996. 0

26. MaIntenance-Headquarters building maintenance costs are the average of the 1993-95 figures. The item includes janitorial services, maintenance of the building elevator, heating and air-conditioning system, and maintenance of kltohen equipment. There are no proJeoted changes.
27. Utilities-Utility costs are the same as the 1993 costs, when the JACL was fully staffed. Under normal operating conditions, it is projected that the utility costs should be about what they were in 1993. Inflationary increases are not calculated Into the amount.
28. Telephone-The telephone charges are an average of the charges from 1993-95. The projected charges for a weekly PC go down. The numbers were prepared by the Pacific Citizen.
29. Contrlbutlons-No charges to the item are projected. JACL is no longer contributing to or attending other organizational fund-raising events.
30. Insunance-The insurance premiums are the same as 1993 and are $1,798 more than what was budgeted for 1996. The 1993 figure is maintained in anticipation of any possible inflationary increases and increases that usually occur in convention years.
31. Books and PubllcationsThe line item is a small expenditure for the periodic purchase of selected publications. No changes are projected,
32. Interest Expense-No expenses for the item are prOjected. Interest on loans, past due bills. etc., are normally credited here.
33. Miscellaneous-These costs reflect a 5.5 percent increase over the 1996 proposed budget. The item includes building parking, bank charges, service fees, and such items as cards and flowers for special occasions. The expenses in 1995 and 1996 were reduced as a consequence of reduced spending. They would go up slightly in 1998 and comparatively more should the PC be published weekly.
34. Scholarship/Student AIdNo expenses for the item are projected. Intemships and costs associated with such programs would be credited here.
35.

Lest we forget
Rare is the Japanese American community, organization or group not building or planning to build a me
morial these days. Several World War II veterans groups are vying, with some acrimony, for the support and money for a major memorial in Los Angeles. Some Nikkei vets of the Korean war want. a memorial of their own. The Nikkei vets of the Vietnam unpleasantness recently dedicated theirs. Can vets of the Gulf War be far behind?
In Denver, admirers of the late Rev. Yoshitaka Tam ai, a saintly Buddhist priest, are seeking $35,000 to erect a life-sized bronzestatueinhismemory.Itwould tand in the garden of Sakura Square together with busts of Gov. Ralph Carr and Min Yasui who benefited the Japanese American community in memorable ways.
Cemeteries in many communiti have monu ments commemorating local Nisei war dead. Memorials already ha be n erected at Camp Shelby, and at. lonely and seldomvisited one-time WRA campsites. ections of highways have been designa d to honor military units.
What is the reason for t.his gr at. {fort to memorialize our hero s? P rhap it is A
sen e of our own mortality. the knowledgl;'
that time is fleeting and fading memories must. be immortalized by those who experienced history to remind posterity about what was.
Without doubt t.h most signHicant of these many projects is the one to er ct a monumenLin Washington, D. . nhas been authorized by Congress and a site sel cted not far from the Capitol. Und r the regulations it. will not. be a military memorial, but an opportunity to commemorate the contri· butions of all Japanese Americans t.o th great.ness of America.
The National ,Japanese America n M -morial Foundation has be n stabli8h d t.o carry out this project. Its mIssion 8t.at -m nt. hamm r d out with much souls arching, tells th story:
"Th mission of Lhe NatIonal ,Jap n se Am ric n M morial Foundation IS to cr -ate, under ongressional s lute, 8 m morial to the loyalty, courag ,sacrific and contributions to the gr lneAA of this nation mad by Americans of J pon try and lh Ir immigrant pa n dunng World War II despite injustices roo d in

To say all t.his with stone, steel, running water, tr es and other elements in striking juxtaposition is a staggering challenge as well 88 opportunity. It. will take talent and inspir lion.

Manzanar, Lillian Baker and historical vigilance
On April 27, I joined the 27th annual Manzanar Pilgrimmage with more than 350 other people. This was my first chance to join
the four-hour trek to Manzanar, so I was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful the country was. The snow-capped mountain range provided a spectacular backdrop for a solemn white pillar, a lone memorial to the tragedy of Manzanar. .
As my friend and I turned off of Highway 395 into a dusty driv way, my weekend adventure seemed to have taken an ugly turn. We were immediately confronted by what appeared to b a group of beaten-up old cars and trucks parked around a stone guardhouse, with one man menacingly glaring at me while anoth r man was hunched over, chipping awa with hammer and chisel at the bronze plaque that designates Manzanar as a national historic site. The redn cks ar chipping away at Manzanar, I thought.
I also thought about Lillian Bak rand others who have recently surfaced to d ny the existence of the Manzanar cone ntrahon camp. Baker recently wrot a I t r to the local Inyo Rl'gister that Manzanar
was not a concentration or internment camp. She mainLain d that therewer no guard towers, only a fire watch tower and one guard "to keep unauthorized persons out." Another frequent writer to th Registcr, a resident of nearby Bishop, Calif., claimed that "ofLhe 112,000 Japanese living in the United tates th n. 64 percent of the mal s w re shown on Japanes Embassy r cords to have loyalty to Japan." And so on.
I r called that th National Park Servic conducted four public h arings in March to pr nt its proposed plan to develop th Manzanar National Site. f th four, the March 12 h aring at. the Bishop City Hall tum d out t.o b th most h t d As National Park St'rvic uperin nd nt Ross Hopkins laled. "This i the most conLentiou suhj ct w hav h d to d I with in th National Park S rvice. This ubject has p opJ conf'Using Am ricans

Non th less, we must continue to be vigilant. Th Manzanar ommittee, led by Sue Kunitomi Embrey, has been conducting a letter-writing campaign to Secr tary of the lnt rior Bruce Babbitt.

immediately looked for Superintendent Hopkins and Sue Embrey to report the trouble. r jumped into a National Park Service van with Hopkins and we sped off to confront the trouble. Envisioning the likes of the Montana Freemen, I nervously asked if violence was possible. He replied, "it's possible."
We pulJed up to the plaque, and Hopkins strode out first and confronted them. "Do you gentlemen realize that t.his is state property?"
In response, the man hunched over the plaque stood up meekly to reveal a Japanese-loolting face . "I'm just trying to make a plaster cast of the words 'concentration camp' before the rednecks get to it," said this man. who turned out to be an anti-Lillian Baker gardener fromGardena.
As J later apologized profusely and sheepishly to Hopkins for the false alarm, be assured me. "You can never be too careful."

JACL's NCWNP urges voter registration program The Northern California-Western
Nevada Pacific District Council unanimously approved on May 5 a resolution urging the organization to pursue a voter registration program.
The resolution, which will be passed on to the National Convention Resolution committee, reads as follows:
"WHEREAS: Asian American and Nikkei populations are steadily Increasing but are underrepresented at all levels of government, in the midst of racism, scapegoating, glass
ceilings, unjust Immigration policies, beset with inadequate education and health care; and
"WHEREAS: the long and arduous campaign for Redress is about over and JACL is confronted with new challenges and undergoing various changes; seeking foous and definite goals; and
"WHEREAS: our Representatives Robert Matsui and Patsy Mink have joined with 19 other Asian Pacific American organizations to launch a national voter registration drive focusing on coalition-building and
aimed at boosting the Asian American vote in the 1996 elections,
"NOW, THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED, by the National Counoll of the Japanese American Citizens League, each local chapter and Individual member, the "C" in our organization's name be the foous of an Informed, participatory citizenship, and

and issues, and getting out the vote, a right once denied to our ancestors."
The plan Is to urge the adoption of the resolution at the 34th biennial National JACL Convention in San Jose, Calif., Aug. 6-11.
According to Frank Iritanl of the Florin Chapter, all chapters should be workJng nowforvoter registration rather than waiting for the August convention. Here are suggestions from the National Asian Pacific American Voter Registration Campaign booklet:
• Each organization must foremost register its own membership.
• Have each member register 1 0 ftiends. This will allow the membership to practice ·selling~ voter participation to a friendly face.
• Organize voter registration events targeting the greater Asian Pacific American community at ethnicfestivals, bazaars, churches, etc.
• Write articles for the press and encourage media to feature voter registration public service announcements.
Affirmative action reaffirmed A coalition of five national Asian
Pacific American organizations reaffirmed on April 30 their support of affirmative action. The groups include the Japanese American Citizens League; the Organization of Chinese Americans; the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance, AFL-CIO, the National Asian Pacific American Legal Consortium, and the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association.

TANI (Continued from page 10)
overprepare. He would go down, be himself and enjoy the moment. Win or lose.
"They asked the same question they've been aski ng for years," Tani said. "Tell us about your life, start with high school, and then you launch into your life story, while they interject questions. They ask questions from the frivolous to the very technical about your career. I was surprised by the depth of questions. There are two tables in aT-shape and you're placed right in the center." Presumably, the reason for this is to see if candidates maintain eyecontact with panel memb rs by turning frequently.
And to the obvious qu tion of why he wants to be an astronaut, Tani said: "I've worked with astronauts before. They're intelligent, funny, intense. I enjoy working in that environment. An astronaut is basically an engine T,
which is what I am. To be in a shuttle or on a space station would be exci ting. "
In the required lOOO-word-orless essay, Tani said that as an astronaut he would be repres nting the Japanese American community and the memory of Ellison Onizuka, who died in the hallenger flight. He also talk d about his parents who "went to i nternment camp and maintained their heritage but also did th patriotic thing by reporting there (Topaz)."
The bottom line. though, is thaI. Tani' work with th) Pegasus projects at Orbital Sciences orporation clo ely parallel!! work that he would be doing for NASA. "I realized that what I was doing gave me a pretty good hot. I didn'l have a Ph.D., but I went to M.r:r. I had a gr at job in the mid' 0 at Hughes (Aircrall.) and th n c..'1m • to Orbital Science in 'S8. I taTted thinking about it, that 1 was within spitting distance of this . I've hud intermediate goal. in my liti hul then I thought th t I {auld put together a pr tty ood r urn ....
As project manager for the Pcgaaus launches, Tuni must ·valuate launch proc riur· and c nditions. ''I'm lh guy who know th own r's manual," he says. "I han to ask my If. 'Is the' 'l"ockf'l ' healthy, IB the nillt; okay?' My job is:u hav an undf!r tanding of what's happening."
And oon Tani will b 'm king suchcvaluationsinsp CC' . In pit
of the intensity of the job of being an astronaut, he is relaxed and seems to look forward to the camaraderie in space most of all.
He doesn't worry about another Challenger-like accident that could occur. "I don't have any fear ," he said. "I've been flying planes for 10 years now. I'm not a thrill seeker but certainly accept the possible danger as part of the job. No one can guarantee your safety one-hundred percent."
And just a couple of months away from beginning bis training in Houston, Tani muses that h doesn't know what to xpect. "The whole process is mysterious. It's like a wink and a nod. They'r [NASA officials) so casual about everything. Wh n I got th job, they just said,' orne on down to Houston in August.' Th y said nothing about the work. the s Iary, what I'd be doing:'
The one thing Tani knows for sure is that he wanl"! to tak 80m
time off to enjoy one more (>art.hly pursuit before his NASA training b gins.
"J just want to r lax," h Raid. "1 want to play golf with Presid nl linton.~
