That the Senate— recognizes the historical significance of February 19, 1942, as the date on which President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 (7 Fed. Reg. 1407; relating to authorizing the Secretary of War to prescribe military areas) (referred to in this resolving clause as Executive Order 9066 ), which restricted the freedom of Japanese Americans; recognizes the historical significance of February 19, 1976, as the date on which President Gerald Ford issued Presidential Proclamation 4417 (41 Fed. Reg. 7741), which formally terminated Executive Order 9066; supports the goals of the Japanese American community in recognizing a National Day of Remembrance to increase public awareness about the unjust measures taken to restrict the freedom of Japanese Americans during World War II; expresses the sense that the National Day of Remembrance described in paragraph
(3)is an opportunity— to reflect on the importance of upholding justice and civil liberties for all people of the United States; and to oppose hate, xenophobia, and bigotry; recognizes the positive contributions that people of the United States of every race, ethnicity, religion, and national origin have made to the United States; steadfastly confirms the dedication of the Senate to the rights and dignity of all people of the United States; and expresses the sense that policies that discriminate against any individual based on the actual or perceived race, ethnicity, national origin, or religion of that individual would be— a repetition of the mistakes of Executive Order 9066; and contrary to the values of the United States.
