Introduced by: R. Steven Landes | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles | history

SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:

Japanese War Crimes. Urges Congress to process the claims of the 300 living American prisoner-of-war survivors believed to have been held at Mukden, Manchuria, during World War II, many of whom claim to suffer from physical ailments resulting from their subjection to the Japanese military, chemical, and biological experiments. The Congress is urged to provide necessary medical care to these survivors whether or not the Japanese government releases the records of these American prisoners-of-war.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Japanese War Crimes. Memorializes Congress to enact legislation requiring the disclosure of Japanese military records, prohibiting the admission of aliens who have committed acts of torture abroad, and urging the Japanese government to issue a complete apology and release all documents relating to any experiments conducted on prisoners of war.
