It really doesn't matter when the commission was create, it only matter when they did something about it. It was led by two Japanese American senators from Hawaii who tried to get it through Democratic controlled Congress for many years before they were successful. I am not sure why you are so anal about that. When you mentioned Jimmy Carter, it is as if you think the credit belong to him when it doesn't. Congress set up the commission. Reagan-Bush made it happened. Get over it!
