Their claim for reparations was denied by the corporation because Mrs. Tamabayashi was a Japanese national. However. Mrs. Tamabayashl was prohibited from becoming a citizen under the Immigration Act of 1924. which excluded persons of Japanese descent. It was not until 1952. 7 years after the end of World War II. that the 1924 Immigration Act was repealed. and Asians were finally given equal citizenship status in this country. The family of Sadae Tamabayashi seeks fair treatment of their mothers losses. I hope that my colleagues will support this effort to bring to a close this sad chapter in the lives of the Tamabayashi family.
