Feingold Legislation to Study the Treatment of European Americans and Refugees During World War II
Thousands of German Americans, Italian Americans, and Jewish Refugees Mistreated by United States During War
October 1, 2003 WASHINGTON, DC U.S. Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) today introduced legislation to establish two fact-finding commissions to review the treatment by the U.S. government of German Americans, Italian Americans, and Jewish refugees during World War II. The Wartime Treatment Study Act is co-sponsored by Senators Charles Grassley (R-IA), Ted Kennedy (D-MA), and Joe Lieberman (D-CT), and was also introduced in the House of Representatives today by Representative Robert Wexler (D-FL). "We must honor and remember the millions of Americans who bravely served their country in World War II and the hundreds of thousands who sacrificed their lives for the cause of freedom," Feingold said. "But we must also review the U.S. government's violation of civil liberties and its failure to protect refugees facing persecution during World War II." Thousands of German Americans, Italian Americans and other European Americans were unfairly arrested, detained, interned or relocated by the U.S. government, some remaining in custody long after World War II had ended. Many European Americans were stripped of their personal property and travel rights. At our borders, Jewish refugees, seeking protection from Nazi persecution, were denied entry into the United States. Congress has previously reviewed the U.S. government's treatment of Japanese Americans during World War II through the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians. There has been no independent review however, of the treatment of German Americans and Italian Americans and of Jewish refugees fleeing persecution and genocide.

Home Country Analysis Briefs Regional Indicators: Central America PDF version PDB version September 2004 Background Energy Panama Canal/Pipeline Environment ... Links Regional Indicators: Central America
Although Central America (including Belize Costa Rica El Salvador Guatemala Honduras Nicaragua , and Panama ) has limited energy resources, it is important to world energy markets as a transit center for oil (via the Panama Canal), and as a potential energy transit center between North and South America. Note: This information is latest available as of September 2004, and is subject to change. BACKGROUND
Central America is home to some of the world's poorest and most densely populated countries. Nicaragua and Honduras, for example, are considered two of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere, with large portions of their populations living in poverty. Both of these countries are part of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF)-led Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPCs) initiative, which provides comprehensive debt relief to the world's poorest, most heavily indebted countries. The economic situation is not as dire in all Central American countries, such as in Costa Rica, where the population enjoys a relatively high standard of living, with the highest per capita income in the region and low unemployment. In 2003, all Central American economies expanded year-on-year, with El Salvador and Guatemala growing at the slowest rates. In the short term, Central America will likely benefit from a resurgent economy in the United States, the region's main trading partner, and from an upswing in world commodity prices. The

Latin America Overview
"Individually and collectively, we will deny terrorist groups the capacity to operate in this Hemisphere. This American family stands united." Declaration by the Organization of American States
21 September 2001
The countries of Latin America (with the exception of Cuba) joined as one in condemning the attacks of September 11 when the Organization of American States became the first international organization to express outrage at the "attack on all the democratic and free states of the world" and to voice solidarity with the United States. Ten days later, the OAS Foreign Ministers called for a series of strong measures to combat terrorism, and those members that are party to the Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance took the unprecedented step of invoking the principle of mutual assistance—an agreement by which an attack on any state party to the treaty is considered an attack on them all. Kidnapping remained one of the most pernicious problems in the region. Nineteen US citizens were kidnapped in Latin America in 2001, including five each in Colombia and Haiti, and four in Mexico. Elite counterterrorism units in Colombia arrested 50 persons in connection with the abduction in October 2000 of five US oil workers in Ecuador and the subsequent murder in January 2001 of US hostage Ron Sander.

These reforms typically transition judicial systems towards a more modern and efficient, adversarial and oral style away from the often laborious and paper-based trial procedures, which those countries inherited from former colonial regimes. Instead of panels of judges working to investigate every detail of a case and presenting all arguments through paper affidavits which could often take years, courts in Latin America and the Caribbean began to hear oral arguments from attorneys on both sides, with the judges acting more as impartial mediators and lay judges deciding on the verdicts. With these changes came greater efficiency. In Bolivia, for example, the average time to complete a criminal case decreased from four years before the reforms to only four months today. Defendants in many courts today have legal assurances that they will not languish in jail for years before going to trial. In addition, most countries have abolished the practice of pre-trial sentencing. USAID also works to reform police forces, provide better training, and make them more accountable for their actions.

Program Overview and Funding Authority
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is the principal U.S. federal agency implementing America's foreign economic and humanitarian assistance programs around the world. Since 1961, USAID has extended assistance to countries recovering from disaster, working to alleviate poverty, and engaging in democratic reforms. USAID expends approximately $500 million per year on 72 country and regional programs that support democracy and good governance. Pro-democracy activities range from enhancing the capacity of state institutions to supporting grassroots civic education campaigns. With some notable exceptions, the vast majority of USAID-funded democracy and good governance programs are carried out collaboratively and with the consent of the governments in the countries where activities take place. For a variety of reasons detailed in this report, the Cuba Program is an exceptional case. USAID's Cuba Program was established under the Cuban Democracy Act of 1992 (Section 1705g) , and the Cuban Liberty and Democratic (LIBERTAD) Solidarity Act of 1996 (Section 109a) -widely known as the Helms-Burton Act . Arising from longstanding conflictual relations between the United States and the Government of Cuba since 1959, the
