15 (1) Firearm traces are designed to assist law 

16 enforcement authorities in conducting investigations 

17 by tracking the sale and possession of specific fire18 arms. Law enforcement agencies may request fire19 arms traces for any reason, and those reasons are 

20 not necessarily reported to the Federal Government. 

21 Not all firearms used in crime are traced and not all 

22 firearms traced are used in crime. 

23 (2) Firearms selected for tracing are not chosen 

24 for purposes of determining which types, makes, or 

25 models of firearms are used for illicit purposes. The

1 firearms selected do not constitute a random sample 

2 and should not be considered representative of the 

3 larger universe of all firearms used by criminals, or 

4 any subset of that universe. Firearms are normally 

5 traced to the first retail seller, and sources reported 

6 for firearms traced do not necessarily represent the 

7 sources or methods by which firearms in general are 

8 acquired for use in crime.

17 COMMISSION ON WARTIME RELOCATION AND INTERN18 MENT OF LATIN AMERICANS OF JAPANESE DESCENT

19 SEC. 541. (a) FINDINGS.—Based on a preliminary 

20 study published in December 1982 by the Commission on 

21 Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians, Congress 

22 finds the following: 

23 (1) During World War II, the United States— 

24 (A) expanded its internment program and 

25 national security investigations to conduct the 
115 

•S 1572 PCS

1 program and investigations in Latin America; 

2 and 

3 (B) financed relocation to the United 

4 States, and internment, of approximately 2,300 

5 Latin Americans of Japanese descent, for the 

6 purpose of exchanging the Latin Americans of 

7 Japanese descent for United States citizens 

8 held by Axis countries. 

9 (2) Approximately 2,300 men, women, and chil10 dren of Japanese descent from 13 Latin American 

11 countries were held in the custody of the Depart12 ment of State in internment camps operated by the 

13 Immigration and Naturalization Service from 1941 

14 through 1948. 

15 (3) Those men, women, and children either— 

16 (A) were arrested without a warrant, hear17 ing, or indictment by local police, and sent to 

18 the United States for internment; or 

19 (B) in some cases involving women and 

20 children, voluntarily entered internment camps 

21 to remain with their arrested husbands, fathers, 

22 and other male relatives. 

23 (4) Passports held by individuals who were 

24 Latin Americans of Japanese descent were routinely 

25 confiscated before the individuals arrived in the 
116 

•S 1572 PCS

1 United States, and the Department of State ordered 

2 United States consuls in Latin American countries 

3 to refuse to issue visas to the individuals prior to de4 parture. 

5 (5) Despite their involuntary arrival, Latin 

6 American internees of Japanese descent were consid7 ered to be and treated as illegal entrants by the Im8 migration and Naturalization Service. Thus, the in9 ternees became illegal aliens in United States cus10 tody who were subject to deportation proceedings for 

11 immediate removal from the United States. In some 

12 cases, Latin American internees of Japanese descent 

13 were deported to Axis countries to enable the United 

14 States to conduct prisoner exchanges. 

15 (6) Approximately 2,300 men, women, and chil16 dren of Japanese descent were relocated from their 

17 homes in Latin America, detained in internment 

18 camps in the United States, and in some cases, de19 ported to Axis countries to enable the United States 

20 to conduct prisoner exchanges. 

21 (7) The Commission on Wartime Relocation 

22 and Internment of Civilians studied Federal actions 

23 conducted pursuant to Executive Order 9066 (relat24 ing to authorizing the Secretary of War to prescribe 

25 military areas). Although the United States program 
117 

•S 1572 PCS

1 of interning Latin Americans of Japanese descent 

2 was not conducted pursuant to Executive Order 

3 9066, an examination of that extraordinary program 

4 is necessary to establish a complete account of Fed5 eral actions to detain and intern civilians of enemy 

6 or foreign nationality, particularly of Japanese de7 scent. Although historical documents relating to the 

8 program exist in distant archives, the Commission 

9 on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians 

10 did not research those documents. 

11 (8) Latin American internees of Japanese de12 scent were a group not covered by the Civil Liberties 

13 Act of 1988 (50 U.S.C. App. 1989b et seq.), which 

14 formally apologized and provided compensation pay15 ments to former Japanese Americans interned pur16 suant to Executive Order 9066. 

17 (b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this section is to es18 tablish a fact-finding Commission to extend the study of 

19 the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment 

20 of Civilians to investigate and determine facts and cir21 cumstances surrounding the relocation, internment, and 

22 deportation to Axis countries of Latin Americans of Japa23 nese descent from December 1941 through February 

24 1948, and the impact of those actions by the United 

25 States, and to recommend appropriate remedies, if any, 
118

2 and new discoveries.
