sijFood Advisory Service store at ts;jile market offers senior citizens

fresh meat and produce in bulk

In a d d it io n to Kanakanu i and Wong, fou r city drivers last week pleaded guilty, leaving city em ploy­ee Melvin T. Miyata, production con­trol specialist; Kolt, and Rainbow Tours left to stand trial the week of Aug. 20.

W ASHINGTON — The three U.S. senators of Japanese ancestry yes ­terday joined in introducing a bill ta study a p o s s ib le r e d r e s s fo r Japanese-Americans who w ere in­terned during World W ar II.

The m easure was “sponsored by H aw aii Sens. D an ie l Inouye and Spark Matsunaga and California ’s GOP Sen. S.I. Hayakawa.

H ayak aw a ’ s sponsorship was a surprise to some since he had made widely quoted remarks to the effect that internment camps w ere good for Nisei during the war. In June, Hayakawa was sharply criticized by Inouye for this attitude during a speech Inouye made to the 1979 Nisei Veterans Reunion in Honolulu.

The m easu re sponsored by the three senators calls for the establish­ment of a commission to study the e f f e c t of P res id en t F r a n k lin D. Roosevelt’s Executive O rder 9066. Under that authority, about 120,000 AJAs were moved from their West Coast homes to barbed w ire reloca­tion cam ps under arm ed guards soon after the w ar’s outbreak.

“ While most Americans are fam il­iar w ith the holocaust in H itler ’s G erm any, v e r y fe w re a liz e that

American citizens were also thrown into concentration cam ps w ithout trial or hearing,” said Matsunaga..

Inouye said a presidentially ap­pointed commission could determine whether a wrong was committed and leave it to Congress to decide wheth­er any fu rther a c t ion should be taken.

‘ T expect that there are th ree m a jor questions that this commis­sion may contend with . . . Whether E xecu tive O rder 9066 and o th er related actions can be justified as necessary for the security of our na­tion, whether relocation and intern­ment w ere required to p ro tec t in­ternees against wartime hysteria, and whether the loss and pain ex ­perienced by the internees m erits remedy by the government at this tim e,” Inouye said.

In the past, Hayakawa, who was born in Canada and later moved to the United States, said the camps were “ understandable” and said the m ovem ent fo r compensation w as “ ridiculous” and “ absu rd .” In re ­sponse, about 1,000 Japanese A m eri­cans bought an ad in The Washing­ton Post ca llin g Hayakawa “ Our Public Enemy Number One.”

date: THURSDAY, August 2, 1979

release date: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Senators Daniel K. Inouye, S. I. Hayakawa and Spark Matsunaga today jointly introduced a measure to establish a commission to study the relocation and internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.

"It would be up to this presidentially-appointed commission to determine whether a wrong was committed by the Federal government when it ordered 120,000 persons into internment camps for an average of two and a half to three years," Inouye said.

"The Japanese American Citizens League has worked closely with members of the Senate in developing this legislation, which,I think, has a good chance of Senate passage this session.

"I expect that there are three major questions that this commission may contend with during its work: whether ExecutiveOrder 9066 and other related actions can be justified as necessary for the security of our nation; whether relocation and internment were required to protect internees against wartime hysteria; and whether the loss and pain experienced by the internees merits remedy by the government at this time," Inouye said.

Civil Service Retirement Credit for [Japanese Amerir "iric Internea During W orld W ar IISta tement on Signing H .R . 9471 In to L aw .Septem ber 22, 1978

I am very happy to sign H.R. 9471, a bill which represents one more Govern­ment effort to redress inequities that oc­curred during World W ar II.

Three and a half decades ago, our Gov­ernment overreacted to the attack on Pearl Harbor and evacuated and interned approximately 110,000 Japanese Ameri­cans who lived in our Western States.

Even at the time this action seemed shameful and indefensible to many of us.The loyalty and devotion of our Japanese American citizens—despite this Govern­ment action—has been proven many times over. Most of the internees were American citizens, and many subsequently gave their lives in defense of this country.

While we cannot undo or erase the hardships and indignities suffered by these loyal Americans, we can, in some small measure, compensate them.

Three laws have been enacted for this purpose since the end of World W ar II.Public Laws 82-545 and 86-782 granted ]special benefits for civil service pay and retirement purposes to Japanese Ameri­cans who met certain criteria and were jemployed by the Federal Government on

Sept. 22 Administration of ]July 15, 1952. The third law, Public Law 92-603, granted social security credits for privately employed adults who were con­fined in World W ar II internm ent camps.

All three of these laws were designed as partial compensation to working-age Japanese American internees, but they do not help those who entered Federal serv­ice after mid-1952. These Federal em­ployees generally do not qualify for social sec y benefits.

Il.R . 9471 will cover that group by granting civil service retirem ent credit for periods of confinement after age 18 in World W ar II internm ent camps to any Japanese American who later entered Federal sendee.

This bill represents years of unceasing effort by many Members of Congress who wished to redress the injustices suffered by this unique group of American citizens. I am pleased to have the opportunity to share in that effort today.n o t e : As enacted, H.R. 9471 is Public Law 95-382, approved September 22. /
