      By Mr. ALLARD:
  S. 125. A bill to establish the Granada Relocation Center National 
Historic Site as an affiliated unit of the National Park System; to the 
Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
  Mr. ALLARD. Mr. President, I am introducing a bill dealing with the 
Granada Relocation Camp, also known as Camp Amache. It played an 
important, but sad, part in United States history. Camp Amache, one of 
10 internment camps in the Nation, was established in August 1942 by 
the U.S. Government during World War II as a place to house the 
Japanese from the west coast and was closed on August 15, 1945. This is 
a significant part of American history and it should be preserved. My 
bill today will designate the Granada Relocation Camp as a national 
historic site in Colorado.
