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 Executive

Order 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.
