ations Committee reported its 1858

mends $745,O 900 for the evacuation
claims program. authorized by the
JACL-sponsored Evacuation Claims
Act of 1948. the Washington office

House Appropriations Committee
has designated $245. 900 for adminis-
trative expenses and $500 900 for the
payment of claims. The recon-
mended amount is the same as was
approved for the operation Of the
evacuation claims program during
the 1852 fiscal year
This recommended budget is
not to be confused with the sup
Elemental appropriations of
Sl4,S0O. 900. already approved by
the House. which will go entirely
toward The payment Of claims
settled under the compromise for
mula," declared Mike Masaoka,
national JACL ADO legislative
director. Moreover. the Depart
ment of Justice fully expects to
expend this sum of S14,s0O,0 900 by
June 30 Of this year"
Since the special supplemental
appropriations have already been
earmarked for payment of compro-
missed claims, Masaoka stated 1t was
his assumption that the $500 600 de-
signated in the 1853 fiscal budget
for the payment of claims would be
used to pay adjudicated claims UNI
der so, 500.
Under the compromise evacua-
ton settlement program. which was
sponsored by the JACL Ado to eX-
pedite the original Evacuation
Claims Act. It has been estimated
by the Department Of Justice that
1900 claims will have been COM
promised and settled by June 30,
