On the recordDecember 5, 2006
H.R. 1492, introduced by Congressman Bill Thomas, would establish a grant program within the Department of the Interior to protect, preserve, and interpret historic confinement sites where Japanese Americans were detained during World War II. While there are two units in the National Park System that recognize the internment period, there are many who believe that other internment sites should also be preserved short of becoming a part of the park system. This bill would further that purpose by providing funds, with a partial private match. The Senate amendment broadens the consultation requirement to develop criteria for making grants, provides a timeline for making grants, and increases the nonFederal matching requirement. These are all improvements to the original bill and we support them. I urge the adoption of the bill.
