REPORT ON SPECIAL SESSION WITH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
Mr. James Sakamoto, Past National President, was
called upon to report on the special session which the
select Committee had had with government representatives.
Assistant Secretary of War, John J. McCloy, assured the
committee that nothing which is going to cause undue harm
would be issued as an order. Furthermore, the government
expects the closest cooperation. As Americana, all should
comply with the evacuation order loyally and cheerfully.
Highlight excerpts of Mr. Sakamoto's report are as follows:
"The government ic going to cooperate with us to the
fullest extent possible, so now it is up to us to cooperate
with the government agents. To you people gathered here
now, I want to say this, you have a job to do, go back to
your respective communities to get people working with the
government on the evacuation order. Certain reception centers will be set up in certain commu-sltiies which will only
be for temporary use or you may stay there for the duration.
And from that point you may go to other localities; in other
words, your rights are not going to be curtailed. In case
you go to a reception center and decide to move on, the Army
will have to give you permits to let you. out. Another thing,
those persons wishing to n.iove o,ut voluntarily now may do so.
We were asked by Mr. Thomas C. Clark to bring in plans whereby we may enter certain designated areas. We could not talk
at length with regard to the whole matter."
