La Comisión de las Ocupaciónes Americanos Act

This bill would create a federal commission to study nine past U.S. military interventions in Nicaragua, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Grenada, and Panama, plus other U.S. military involvement in Latin America and the Caribbean that the commission votes to add. The commission would gather records, hold public meetings and hearings, and could ask a federal court to require witnesses and documents. It would recommend ways to educate the public, possible remedies, and how the U.S. government could offer a formal apology. It would report to Congress within 4 years and then end 90 days later, and the bill authorizes $20 million for its work.
