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.
It was generally agreed that claims based cn lest wages, dep,lvatlcn of constltuUonal rights (because these have
