Japanese-Americans to wait years for redress payments
A government commission urged Congress to compensate 60 000 people of Japanese ancestry with 20 000 each for internment during World War II. Spokesman Ronald Ikejiri says Congress will act only when American consciousness shifts. McCloy questions the finding and Lungren opposes monetary compensation. The panel also urged apologies, a foundation, and a special fund for the Aleut evacuees.
