An investigation to determine the feasibility of doing a project dealing with the re-assimilation of Japanese Americans into American society after World War II. More than 110,000 of the 127,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans in the US lived in 3 west coast states prior to World War II. They were removed, by military order, to 10 camps in western states. Order was rescinded in early 1945. Would add to our knowledge of US post World War II period.
