A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CARSON, CALIFORNIA SUPPORTING H. R. 261 RELATING
TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ASIAN AMERICAN AFFAIRS
CABINET COMMITTEE
WHEREAS, while it is true that Asian Americans over the years have surmounted
legal, economic, political, educationat, and social barriers, the true facts indicate that in all
too many instances, the remnants of prejudice and bigotry still pervade our society and continue
to confront the Asian American citizens in this country; and
WHEREAS, the problem of the Asian Americans include both the youth and
elderly of the country, partly because of the language barrier and partly because of social and
cultural differences; and
WHEREAS, while the City of Carson and many of its neighboring cities have
taken constructive steps to help solve the many and complex problems confronting the Asian
American citizens of the community, this City Council is of the opinion that only federal
action can begin to investigate, isolate and rectify the many inequities and problems relating
to the Asian American population; and
WHEREAS, on February 22, 1973, the Honorable Glenn M. Anderson, Member
of Congress, introduced H. R. 261, which he co-authored together with the Honorable
Spark M. Matsunaga, which would create a meaningful and effective Cabinet Committee for
Asian American Affairs with the specific task of identifying the problems of Asian Americans,
developing solutions to those problems and correcting the injustices that presently confront
Americans of Asian ancestry;
