The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was
referred the bill (S. 2870) to authorize the Secretary of the Interior
to conduct a special resource study of the site known as Amache
in the State of Colorado, having considered the same, reports favor-

PURPOSE
The purpose of S. 2870 is to authorize the Secretary of the Inte-
rior (Secretary) to conduct a special resource study of the site
known as Amache in the State of Colorado to evaluate the na-
tional significance of the study area and determine the suitability
and feasibility of designating the study area as a unit of the Na-
tional Park System.
BACKGROUND AND NEED
Executive Order 9066, issued by President Roosevelt in 1942 and
enforced by law (Public Law 77-503), forcibly removed tens of thou-
sands of Japanese Americans, including nearly 70,000 American
citizens, from the West Coast to internment centers during World
War II.
The smallest internment camp was located a mile from Granada,
Colorado, in the southeastern part of the state. The camp was unof-
ficially known as Amache after a mail mix-up between the town
Granada and the similarly named center.
