Description	The House Judiciary Committee voted to send H.R. 442 to the full House of Representatives after defeating a proposal to eliminate monetary compensation to those who were interned. Meanwhile, in the Senate the Federal Services Subcommittee on Governmental Affairs heard testimony in support of the senate redress bill from Senators Matsunaga, Inouye, Cranston, Adams and other supporters including Grayce Uehara of the Japanese American Citizens League Legislative Education Committee. If either the House or Senate redress bill pass they would implement recommendations approved by the federal Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians.
