reimbursements and shall be allocated in a manner consistent
with the manner under which funds are allocated under the

TITLE __--STUDY OF WARTIME TREATMENT OF CERTAIN PEOPLE

SEC. __01. SHORT TITLE.

This title may be cited as the ``Wartime Treatment Study
Act''.

SEC. __02. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) During World War II, the United States Government
deemed as ``enemy aliens'' more than 600,000 Italian-born and
300,000 German-born United States resident aliens and their
families and required them to carry Certificates of
Identification and limited their travel and personal property
rights. At that time, these groups were the 2 largest
foreign-born groups in the United States.
(2) During World War II, the United States Government
arrested, interned, or otherwise detained thousands of
European Americans, some remaining in custody for years after
cessation of World War II hostilities, and repatriated,
exchanged, or deported European Americans, including
American-born children, to European Axis nations, many to be
exchanged for Americans held in those nations.
(3) Pursuant to a policy coordinated by the United States
with Latin American nations, many European Latin Americans,
including German and Austrian Jews, were arrested, brought to
the United States, and interned. Many were later expatriated,
repatriated, or deported to European Axis nations during
World War II, many to be exchanged for Americans and Latin
Americans held in those nations.
(4) Millions of European Americans served in the armed
forces and thousands sacrificed their lives in defense of the
United States.
(5) The wartime policies of the United States Government
were devastating to the Italian American and German American
communities, individuals, and their families. The detrimental
effects are still being experienced.
(6) Prior to and during World War II, the United States
restricted the entry of Jewish refugees who were fleeing
persecution or genocide and sought safety in the United
States. During the 1930's and 1940's, the quota system,
immigration regulations, visa requirements, and the time
required to process visa applications affected the number of
Jewish refugees, particularly those from Germany and Austria,
who could gain admittance to the United States.
(7) The United States Government should conduct an
independent review to fully assess and acknowledge these
actions. Congress has previously reviewed the United States
Government's wartime treatment of Japanese Americans through
the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of
Civilians. An independent review of the treatment of German
Americans and Italian Americans and of Jewish refugees
fleeing persecution and genocide has not yet been undertaken.
(8) Time is of the essence for the establishment of
commissions, because of the increasing danger of destruction
and loss of relevant documents, the advanced age of potential
witnesses and, most importantly, the advanced age of those
affected by the United States Government's policies. Many who
suffered have already passed away and will never know of this
effort.
