- Shillaki SUlLlyama To the Point CALL FOR INVESTIGATION W3!hington The Pacific Southwest and Midwest District Coun- cils neenlly called for an open investigation of the na lonal executive director and the elected national leadenbip. In doing so, however, both district councils left ullJ't!Solved several critical questions concernine the scopi' of the proposed investigation and the manner in wbich It should be conducted. Specifically, both councils left unanswered the following issues: 1-Who is to sit on the investigatory body? 2-Wha' spedfic charges are the investigatory body to investigate? 3--What national program budl'ets are to be cut in ord£r that adequate resources may be diverted for the use of the investiyatory body so that it may con- duct 8 comprehtnsive investiga'ion? 4-What is to be done with the findings and report of the investigatory body? r-What procedural safevuards are to be instituted and followed by thE investigatory body so that the righ·. of those investigated are not unntcessarily violated? Althoufh I recognize that certain members of the Pac:ific Southwest and Midwest Districts have fre- quently been at odds with the national executive direc- tor and myself since the 1972 Biennial Nati(lnal Con· nntlon, I believe 'hat members of both districts have baIlcally acted In what they perceive to be in the brst interests of the entire national organization. Accordlntly, to implement the resolutions of the two district councils, I have asked approval of the National Board: 1-To appoint an invest1!latory body consisting of five-to-teven bi,blv respected JACLers who bave re- mained impartial throughout this ongoing controversy. 2-That Ibis investillatory body inquire into what- ever charge. against the national leadersbip that it defml approprtate. However, althoul'h I bave always believed that the elected national officers, the district .l!overnors and DYC cbairpersons-as members of the National Board -are a part oC the national ludersbip, I will sugyest that tbls body investigate only the national executive director Ilnd myself in order to spare otbers needless embarrallment. S-That tblJ investlqatory body be provided with whatever national JACL resources are required to conduct an adequate and thorougb inves'igation. 4--Tbat the findings and report ot this Investiga- lOI}' body be submitted to the National Board to be connIXd in estraordlnary session on June 7, 1975, for Ita approval and any otber action deemed ap- proprlate_ 5-Tha' tbis investigatory body institute and fol- low whatever procedural safeguard It believes are approprtate.

The stimulating Saturday session, which covered alter- natives- to pursue polltlcal ac- tivities necessary for the pro- tection and preservation o' the rights of Americans of Ja- panese ancestry, culminated In a recemmendatlon to the Natlonal Board "to torm a separate 501(c)(4) organlza- tlon-nonproflt but not tax- exempt". A. for structure of the sep- arate group, It was recom- mended that the Nat'onal JA- CL Board constitute the board of the legislative greup with the right to add other mem- bers as necessary; that the titular head be an Inellvidual other than the natlcnal pres- Ident,. and It designate an Ilaction" comm.ttee. It was conceded and agreed that a major fund-raising ef- tort !Ie necessary to sustain the proposed organiza- tion. ('lbe JACL-ADC, which operated between April, 1946, and December, 1953, had rais- ed $650,000.) Action on this recommen- datlon can come as early as June 7, when an emergency meeUng of the board may be held. The board, however, Is scheduled to meet next Octo- ber. Meantime, research and general paper work are to be administratively bandied. Lelillative illuel The political e d u c a II 0 n committee reviewed a num- ber o{ current legislative pra- posals and how JACL might deal with them. While the or- ganization stands for justice for all Americans, given the limitations within J ACL, "our primary emphasis shall be on Issues that aft'ect or are ot concern to Ame.rlcans of J a- pane-se ancestry" I the com .. mlttee concluded. There was discussion on what power the education committee bad for moking decisions regarellng nat ' cnal legislative isC'ues on behalf ot the membership. The ccmmlttee felt matters we uld be referred at subse- quent times. The specific leglslaUve Is- sues discussed are as follows: l-R e p n rot Ion s : It was agreed to be a leglUmate Is- s ue rer crnslderatkn In view ('I P3St Natlenal Council man- dates. 2--H R 1 8 9 4 (D e pt. 0 1 Peace) : Low-key support rec- emmended. 3-HR 1944 (Native Ha- waIIan Land Claims): Tabled. 4-HR 9385 (Adoption In- rermatlon exchange) : No pri- ority glven. 5-HR 2522 (Gateway Cltle. blll, EEO and Education for new Immigrant· ): Support in pr lnc'ple, but defer fUI ther ac- tlcn until mere ccmplete .tudy and Information Is avaUable. 6-HR 4187 (CIvil Service roUrement credlts): For sup- porl 7--.J a pan-U·S.

Considerable discussion was enrountered en this subject as to whether Individuals would be required to pursue person- al claims or whether claim. or prlcrltles could be allocated to preserve and pretect the rights of individuals. It was recognized that the needs ot the elderly Issei, who might not wish to file Inellv- idual claims. must be met . It was that possibly priorlt!es might be Included In the leglslat 'on, aile wing prior rights to all these who wlsb to claim and retaln'ng the res- Idue under a bust or founda- tion arrangement. Difficulties of Individual claims were dlscussed j noting that possibly 20,000 evacuoes are now deceased and th..tr heirs would be eIlfficult to trace. The case of 20,000 other voluntal y evacuees and ethers who we _ oJ net evaouated but nevertheless suffered Injus- tices was also considered along with persons of Japan""e an- cestry who were residents of Hawaii . The fundamental bases tor such legislation must be clarl- fled, the comm'ttee f e It.

To the Point CALL FOR INVESTIGATION

W3!hington The Pacific Southwest and Midwest District Coun­

cils neenlly called for an open investigation of the na lonal executive director and the elected national leadenbip.

In doing so, however, both district councils left ullJ't!Solved several critical questions concernine the scopi' of the proposed investigation and the manner in wbich It should be conducted. Specifically, both councils left unanswered the following issues:

1-Who is to sit on the investigatory body? 2-Wha' spedfic charges are the investigatory

body to investigate? 3--What national program budl'ets are to be cut

in ord£r that adequate resources may be diverted for the use of the investiyatory body so that it may con­duct 8 comprehtnsive investiga ' ion?

4-What is to be done with the findings and report of the investigatory body?

r-What procedural safevuards are to be instituted and followed by thE investigatory body so that the righ·. of those investigated are not unntcessarily violated?

• • • Althoufh I recognize that certain members of the

Pac:ific Southwest and Midwest Districts have fre­quently been at odds with the national executive direc­tor and myself since the 1972 Biennial Nati(lnal Con· nntlon, I believe 'hat members of both districts have baIlcally acted In what they perceive to be in the brst interests of the entire national organization.

Accordlntly, to implement the resolutions of the two district councils, I have asked approval of the National Board:

1-To appoint an invest1!latory body consisting of five-to-teven bi,blv respected JACLers who bave re­mained impartial throughout this ongoing controversy.

2-That Ibis investillatory body inquire into what­ever charge. against the national leadersbip that it defml approprtate.

However, althoul'h I bave always believed that the elected national officers, the district .l!overnors and DYC cbairpersons-as members of the National Board -are a part oC the national ludersbip, I will sugyest that tbls body investigate only the national executive director Ilnd myself in order to spare otbers needless embarrallment.

S-That tblJ investlqatory body be provided with whatever national JACL resources are required to conduct an adequate and thorougb inves'igation.

4--Tbat the findings and report ot this Investiga­lOI}' body be submitted to the National Board to be connIXd in estraordlnary session on June 7, 1975, for Ita approval and any otber action deemed ap­proprlate_

5-Tha' tbis investigatory body institute and fol­low whatever procedural safeguard It believes are approprtate.

SAN FRANCISCO - JACL­ers who help: d 0 generation ago to obtain U.S . citizenship IeI' rosel ond compensation for lesses due to Evacuation will •• membcr It t.o:k 0 separate legislative arm, the J ACL Antl-Dlscrlm'notlon Cemmlt­tee. Inc., to accomplish that mIssion.

It may be reactivated. per­haps not In nome but In th, ust, as thc newly-formed Natlcnal JACL Political Edu­cation Cemmittee dlscusoed Its role and explored legialatlve Issues here over the April 19-20 wc'kend.

While srmp nave Interpret­td the crmmlttee's (unctl('n t? he the:- DBC'sap'e ,.r a repara­tI-ns bill for Nikkei evacuees. the Natirnal JAC'L Boord deol~nat~d Its seepe tl) be "eneral lel!islotlve actIvity. Natlenal President Shlg Su­giyama subsequently renam­ed the greup to cover an even broader area.

Washington JACL represen­tative Wayne Horiuchi brief­ed the committee on the ram­Ifications of JACL's tax-ex­empt. ncnprrfit shtus which prohIbits "subshntlal" parti­cipation In leglslatlve process and polltic~l actlvltle. •.

The stimulating Saturday session, which covered alter­natives- to pursue polltlcal ac­tivities necessary for the pro­tection and preservation o' the rights of Americans of Ja­panese ancestry, culminated In a recemmendatlon to the Natlonal Board "to torm a separate 501(c)(4) organlza­tlon-nonproflt but not tax­exempt".

A. for structure of the sep­arate group, It was recom­mended that the Nat'onal JA­CL Board constitute the board of the legislative greup with the right to add other mem­bers as necessary; that the titular head be an Inellvidual other than the natlcnal pres­Ident,. and It designate an Ilaction" comm.ttee.

It was conceded and agreed that a major fund-raising ef­tort woul~ !Ie necessary to sustain the proposed organiza­tion. ('lbe JACL-ADC, which operated between April, 1946, and December, 1953, had rais­ed $650,000.)

Action on this recommen­datlon can come as early as June 7, when an emergency meeUng of the board may be held. The board, however, Is scheduled to meet next Octo­ber. Meantime, research and general paper work are to be administratively bandied.

Lelillative illuel The political e d u c a II 0 n

committee reviewed a num­ber o{ current legislative pra­posals and how JACL might deal with them. While the or­ganization stands for justice for all Americans, given the limitations within J ACL, "our primary emphasis shall be on Issues that aft'ect or are ot concern to Ame.rlcans of J a­pane-se ancestry" I the com .. mlttee concluded.

There was als~ discussion on what power the p~lJtlcal

education committee bad for moking decisions regarellng nat 'cnal legislative isC'ues on behalf ot the membership. The ccmmlttee felt matters weuld be referred at subse­quent times.

The specific leglslaUve Is­sues discussed are as follows:

Repa,ation, bill

Tbe poilU cal education com­mittee recommended that J A­CL through Its poUtlcai action arm support legislallon which will provide {or a lump-sum amount (to be placed In a trust rund or otherwise be dealt with) from the U.S. gov­ernment tor wartime Evacua­tion of persons of Japanese ancestry.

Considerable discussion was enrountered en this subject as to whether Individuals would be required to pursue person­al claims or whether claim. or prlcrltles could be allocated to preserve and pretect the rights of individuals.

It was recognized that the needs ot the elderly Issei, who might not wish to file Inellv­idual claims. must be met. It was sugge~ted that possibly priorlt!es might be Included In the leglslat'on, aile wing prior rights to all these who wlsb to claim and retaln'ng the res­Idue under a bust or founda­tion arrangement.

Difficulties of Individual claims were dlscussed j noting that possibly 20,000 evacuoes are now deceased and th..tr heirs would be eIlfficult to trace. The case of 20,000 other voluntal y evacuees and ethers who we_oJ net evaouated but nevertheless suffered Injus­tices was also considered along with persons of Japan""e an­cestry who were residents of Hawaii .

The fundamental bases tor such legislation must be clarl­fled, the comm'ttee f e It. Should the approach be strictly en a legal basis or upon broad pdnclples of justice and rna­rollty. tbe memb"rs asked themselves.
