* * I am very happy to be In Spokane tOnight

To be your guest i to become part of your ( community , lIS warmth and its graciou -

nes . Once a farm boy , I find myself up­lifted by you here who live by lhe old value, alues that made redre po ible, value that I know sustain a person like Denny Yasuhara, who can then proVIde leadershIp to Japanese Amencan allover the counuy. The old value can be ummed up In one word: ervice. Down-to-earth , face-to- face service.

What else can you say about Denny' leadershIp? I ay, thoughtful and bold. He reminds me of what Benjamin Franklin said about John Adam : Sometimes wrong, but never In doubt. That pirit i what a long­odd project like redre absolutely had to have, a !rong bIas toward action: Think

( thing through but when in doubt, atlack.

Denny' contnbution were behind the cenes and rarely publiCIzed Hi mo t Im­

portant was to fighi doubt and doubters. Day after day, he brought to our common

L effon an ethical imperative: We go all out, with no thought to winning or 10 ing. hon of that we break faIth willl our 1 ei and

i el forebearers. Without hun , I will confidently assen

that there would have been no redres . I re peet and love Deno} Yasuhara He IS

like a brother to me You hould be proud of him. I am one who i

I would like to talk about three thing tOnight and. along the way, pay tribute to some people whose dogged work has not as yet been WIdely appreciated

First, how was the political rruracle of entitlement aclueved? Second, what led Ronald Reagan to ign the redre bill?

ThIrd, what was the basIC hape of the trategy used by the LEC? How we tried

to make redress a motherhood i ue

Entitlement What Happened? The truth here i very imple. Entitlement

was enator Dan Inouye' Idea in the first and la t place ~ and II was he using A BIg Chll who got It done.

Getting money out of Congres had to be done in ide, because that' what the ap­propriation proces i . What goes on i often described with a lot of Washington mumbo-Jumbo, but in essence II ' pretty traJghlforward Understand first that Con­

gress for the mo t part controls the purse tring of the federal govemment. Under­tand second that in the Senate the Appro-

pnauon Committee, on whicb Dan Inouye I the second-ranking Democrat, oversees those purse tring .

In hon, the community had a powerful player on the inside of an in ider' game who went to bat for us and lugged it out of the park.

What Inouye did was really a political mlf3c1e. Why? Because otherwIse Gramm­Rudman would have kept a heavy lid on any money cOming to us. Dan got Congre to set asIde the severe restriction that are

2-PACIFIC CITIZEN I Friday, March 23, 1990

SPEECH CoflIlJUUd from From Pag~

LO thi nunute imposed on anything or any­body who wants a dime out of Washington.

Imagine the Appropnations Committee as a group of powerful senior e)(ecutives at Boeing. The question before them is whether LO build a new 1.25 billion plant in Kentucky when last year the company's e)(penditures ran way over Its revenues--a big deficit, in other words. In our case, the committee decided to go ahead ,laying aside the cap on outlays-Gramm-Rudman­and giVing the Kentucky plant. our plant, top pnority m the corporate budget, prionty over money for the homel ,crop 'ut>-sidies, and pet political project everywhere

That wa the miracle in these deficit-rid­den ume , and we are greatly Indebted to Dan because no assembly line worker like me could have conceivably influenced what happened behind closed doors

The deal was cut between Inouye, who JU t happened to it as the second-ran1ang Democrat on the Appropriation ubcom­mittee With jurisdiction over the budget for the State, Commerce and Ju lice depart­ment ; and the chairman of that ubcorrurut­tee, Erne t Holling of outh Carolina, a redre opponent who vehemently opposed appropnating any money; and Warren Rud­man, the ran1ang Republican member of the ubcomminee and a Jew from ew Hamp hire who defended Dan again t raci t attac during the Oliver onh hearing . Rudman, by the way, i a co-author of the Gramm-Rudman-Hoillng Act.

How Dan was able to wing Holling i a my tery to me. But Inouye I chairman of the Defense Appropnation ubcommlt­tee that passe on about a quaner of the federal budget that goes to the military. That makes other senators want to be nice to him.

You may not know that Dan , now with great seOlOnly, i one of the mo t re peeted and potent members of the mall club that i the UOIIed tate enate. But as you do know, he I not one to thump hi chelot or I ue a pre release every time he think he can claim a hred of credit for omethJng. Why not? Because like a good i el, he know that If he does that, he can't do the work that hru. to be done.

You get the Idea Dan had the power and Dan u ed it In our behalf And he did It alone because no one In the rc t of the community wru. 10 a po Ilion to help ot Spark, not orm, not Bob We owe enator Dan Inouye, Had he not wanted to help, we were unk.

and advanced. Because m the end redress was the collective work of thousands of

ikkei in hundreds of communities, led, in my judgment, by the much-maligned J CL, our only national organization. And it took a national organization to lead a national effon in our nation's capital.

But why after the mumbo-jumbo and the closed doors were individual Japanese Americans imponant? Because, as Bob MatSui put it, ' 'Grnot, I can close a sale, but I can't open one. Consutuents who vote for or against somebody have to do that." till, there aren't very many of u , and mo t

ew Jersey, not only delivered the greate t percentage of members of Congres voung for redre s, but PNW contnbuted a di pro­poruonate hare of cold, hard, non-tax-de­ducuble cru.h For the LEC, I thank you .

Before talking about Ronald Reagan, I would like to pay tribute to omeone more Imponant to our community. Another Wru.hlnglOn tater, herry Kino hila. Cherry, as you may know, I an Intellectu­ally brilliant woman. and for almo t 20 years totally committed to our 10 t cau e.

don't want something dooe, five isei men.

And Min Yasui, the founding chairman of the LEe, can be remembered this way. Let' say that nobody. no/ onefrom anwng lIS, did what Min did. How much poorer in spiril would our community be today? Like the ve of the 442, let' saytbey never fought. Where would we be nm and bo would we feel about ourselves without their sacrifice? We stand tall this evening be­cause Min did e actly that when it was very. very scary. By comparison. fighting for redress was a piece of cake. Talk is one thing, life and death quite another.

Lobbying One-on-One We must aI 0 thank Tom Kometani, a

Bell Lab sclenti t, and Charles agao, who got 14 of the 16 members of the ew Jersey delegation to vote for redres . And thank the indefatigable Art Morimitsu , who, with hI ikkei vets, made ure that the national VFW and American legIOn did not take a po ition again t our legi la­lion . Had either one done , our bill was dead . And It was the vets, not the JACL, who led Dan Inouye to wnte hi remarkable letter of upport that re ulted in enutlement.

And it wa Ruth Hashimoto of Albuquer­que who won over Pete Domenici of ew Mexico, a power on the Budget ommittee, and it was Lillian Monzono of Las Vegas who charmed and cajoled three of the four members of the evada delegauon to up­pon us. And It was Gene Dol of Atlanta who got Pat windall, an ultra con rvauve. born-again Chn tlan. to ba k the bill and work with Bamey Frank, a gay and an ar­dent liberal . windall was the ranking Re­publican member on Bame ' ubcommit­tee and we had to have him.

EDITORIAL OF THE PACIFIC CITIZEN

A Clarification

Some readers of Pacific Citizen may have been confu ed to ee, in the Feb. 23 i ue, a tatement by JACL ational Director Bill Yo hino labeled "Editorial of the Pacific Citizen. ' It ap­

peared in thi pace, which i re erved for thi new paper' editorial . What confu ed matters even further wa the editorial note whi h

preceded Yo hino' tatement. It aid: "The following editorial by JACL alional Director Bill 0 hino, in re pon e to last week' Pacific Citizen editorial , c1arifie the J CL' po ilion on affmnative aClion ."

For all inten and purpo e , Yo hino' tatement appeared to be the editorial voice of Pacific Citizen. Thi , however, i incorrect.

nder guideline et up by the Pacific Citizen Board, the editor i re pon ible for the new paper and its policie . To carry out thi re pon ibility the editor i given editorial independence becau e Pacific Citizen , while owned by JACL, has a mandate to be a new -paper f wide pread general intere t to Japan e American . To carry out that mandate an independent editorial policy i e ential.

On occasion Pacific Citizen has been in the po ition of reporting di ent and ontroversy within J CL. It performed thi function well a few years ago when the Pacific outhwe t Di trict Council began impeachment proceeding again t the national pre ident and oUght the out ter of the national director.

Thi action was highly embarra ing to the organization and the admini tration, Many would ha e been more comfortable if Pacific Citizen had reported nothing, or printed a carefully anitized version of the tory . True to it re pon ibility, however Pacific Citizen printed the new fully and objectively, retained public confidence and dem­on trated the wi dom of an independent policy.

o u h cri i e i today, f curse, and no demand w made that Yo hino' tatement be pr ented a a Pacific Citizen editorial . Labeling it a u h wa imply an unfortunate error.

Yo hino' tatement wa rightfull publi hed in Pacific Citizen. It made Important di tinction between JA L' po ition and an edi torial pubh~hed by Pa ific itizen . It wa not, however an' Editorial of the Pacific itizen."

as a center of agricultural activity of the I sei prior to World War 11 , mention hould be made of eabrook Fann near Bndgeton in outhern ew Jersey. Here was located the

30, acre vegetable fann and processing pl~t that during the wartime labor bortage uulized Japanese labor exten ively recruited from the various relocation centers uch as Amache, Colorado; Jerome and Rohwer, Arkan as; Gila, Arizona; Topaz, Utah; Hean Mountain, Wyoming; and Manzanar, California.

By 1946 eabrook Farm had a Japanese population of 2,300 and comprised the large t Japanese "village" east of the Roc­kies. The population declined in time so that 10 1948 there were only 1,600 and in 1955 only 600. The decline was attributed to the relativel y low level of pay, the easonal as­pect of the work, as well as the d ire of many of the isei to get Into mdependent agnculture as dId therr fathers earlier In Iu -tory, some of whom senled In ew Jersey to take up farming and other activities in . uch places as Bridgeton, ew Brun wick, Waterford Work, Deerfield treet.

I asked Tom to talk to the President next time he aw htm, and Tom dId for the first 35 minut of a one-hour meeting in Oc­tober of 1987 , The Governor could have talked about the needs of ew Jersey, but lobbied redres 10 tead When Tom got ba k to me, he S3Jd that the President \ LOterested 10 the I ue and had followed the course of the legi lalion 10 Congres ow Reagan was eIther mtere ted 10 an I· ue or he wasn't He wasn' t IOterested in the bud­dmg &L candal in Texas-let Don Regan and the aId handle that one, he id-but Ronald Reagan hImself w intere ted 10
