LETTERS, Page 8Where's the Money?
Your note "The Price of Penance" indicates that Japanese
Americans were awarded checks for $20,000 as restitution for their
forced internment during World War II (NATION, May 8). Ronald
Reagan signed legislation authorizing the payments on Aug. 10,
1988. As yet, however, no eligible individual has received any
money. It is up to Congress to take the final step by appropriating
the required funding to remedy symbolically a grievous error
committed by the U.S. against a group of its own citizens.
