Administrative highlights of the WRA program.

The major goal in the administration of the War Relocation Authority was twofold: (1) the adequate management of temporary living facilities for persons of Japanese ancestry evacuated from the Pacific Coast, and (2) the complete relocation of these people into normal private life. The Authority was responsible for the management of the relocation centers as temporary homes, and for returning these people to civilian life with a maximum of speed and individual consideration, yet with a minimum of social disruption and economic dislocation. The administration of the Authority set its policies and goals, and attained them within time limits calculated as necessary. Probably no governmental agency has ever before worked as hard as did WRA to get itself liquidated and out of business. "Prepared by Malcolm E. Pitts"--Page 1. 82 pages ; 26 cm
