To educate other Members of the Congress about the history, contributions and concerns of Asian Pacific Americans;
To work with other Members and Caucuses of the Congress to protect and advance the civil and constitutional rights of all Americans; and
To provide a formal structure to coordinate the efforts, and enhance the ability, of the Asian Pacific American Members of Congress to accomplish those goals.
