Harano. and Mr. Kanno. and their fellow officers and members of the league. that long overdue recognition is being extended to the great contributions of Japanese Americans to the growth and advancement of our country. I was one of the early sponsors and strong supporters of the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act Amendments which eliminated the Asia Pacific Triangle and the National Origins formula in determining immigration quotas. As a result of these amendments. for the first time. Japan was given. along with other Asian nations. fair and equitable consideration for immigration to the United States. I also was one of the sponsors and strong supporters of legislation enacted in 1971 to repeal the discriminatory title II of the Internal Security Act of 1950 which could have provided for concentration camps. I am glad to say this title has been stricken from our laws.
