Full title

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives concerning war crimes committed by Japan during World War II and the liability of Japanese companies to former prisoners-of-war used by such companies as slave labor during World War II.

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 108th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Calls on the Government of Japan to formally acknowledge and apologize for its World War II war crimes and for Japanese companies that used prisoners of war as slave labor during World War II to compensate those former prisoners (or their survivors) for their labor and for any brutality the companies inflicted.
