He had a son who was a lieutenant colonel with the First Army in Europe. Well. we could go on and on with this record. I would simply like to say this: During World War II aliens of Japanese ancestry were screened as no other people have ever been screened in our history. and this bill simply provides these screened people an opportunity to apply for naturalization. It does not waive any rights. It does not grant any privileges. These people are. under this bill. required to do the same things as any other Immigrant. and that Is all we are asking. We are not asking for anything special. because we fought the way we did. We do not think that that is in the American 23.574 tradition. But we do think we are entitled to ask. as Americans. for our parents. whom we know so well. the same rights as those accorded to other immigrants. Now. I happen to be a member of the American Legion.
