  • A Growing Diversity

    A Growing Diversity

    A Growing Diversity 1993–2017 In late April 1975, eight-year-old Anh (Joseph) Cao’s long and improbable odyssey to the halls of Congress began as North Vietnamese communists seized the southern capital city of Saigon.1 The trajectory of the soft-spoken, bookish Cao toward Capitol Hill stands out as one of the most remarkable in the modern era, even as it neatly encapsulated post-1965 Asian immigration patterns to the United States. Still, the origins of Cao’s story were commonplace. For three decades, conflict and civil war enveloped his country. After the Vietnamese threw off the yoke of French colonialism following World War II, a doomed peace accord in 1954 removed the French military and partitioned Vietnam. The new government in South Vietnam aligned with Western world powers, while North Vietnam allied with communist states. Amid the Cold War, the U.S. backed successive Saigon regimes against communist insurgents before directly intervening in 1965. A massive ground and air war dragged on inconclusively for nearly a decade. More than 58,000 American troops were killed, and more than three million South and North Vietnamese perished.2 Public opposition in the United States eventually forced an end to the intervention. America’s decision to withdraw from Vietnam shattered Joseph Cao’s family just as it did many thousands of others as communist forces soon swamped the ineffectual government and military in the South. In 2011 Japanese-American veterans received the Congressional Gold Medal for their valor during World War II. The medal included the motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, “Go for Broke.” Nisei Soldiers of World War II Congressional Gold Medal Obverse © 2011 United States Mint 42940_08-APA-CE3.indd 436 2/13/2018 12:04:16 PM 42940_08-APA-CE3.indd 437 2/13/2018 12:04:17 PM Just days before Saigon fell, Cao’s mother, Khang Thi Tran, spirited one of her daughters and two sons, including Anh, to a U.S.

Introductory Note on Classification The Department of Defense has reviewed and cleared this report for security classification purposes. The DOD review did not affect the outcome of the report and focused only on security matters—not content or determinations. The Commission derived the information contained in this report entirely from public and open sources. However, to present a complete picture of the factors affecting the Commission’s conclusions and recommendations, a Classified Report has been provided for information purposes. It is important to note that none of the facts, figures, or information included in the Classified Appendices changes the conclusions and recommendations. The Commission offers this as additional information that supports and clarifies their final determinations for use by the Congress and the President. This page intentionally left blank. Message from the Commissioners In early May of this year, the Overseas Basing Commission released its interim report on the overseas basing posture of the United States. As a starting point, the Commission considered the evolving DOD plan for overseas bases called the Integrated Global Presence and Basing Strategy (IGPBS). The interim report was presented to the President and Congress, was covered in the national and international media, and was discussed with officials of the Department of Defense, and other agencies of government. It was also the basis of Commission testimony before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs and the Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC). The Commission has benefited from the feedback received from all of these opportunities and has continued to gather data, meet with relevant officials involved with overseas and domestic basing and their related elements, and continued with both its investigation and analyses in line with the missions laid out in statute creating and charging the Commission with its duties.
