NOTICE: The project that is the subject of this report was approved by the Governing
Board of the National Research Council, whose members are drawn from the councils of
the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute
of Medicine. The members of the committee responsible for the report were chosen for
their special competencies and with regard for appropnate balance.
This report has been reviewed by a group other than the authors according to
procedures approved by a Report Review Committee consisting of members of the National
Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine.
The National Academy of Sciences of the United States is a private, nonprofit, self-
perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research,
dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general
welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the
Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and
technical matters. Dr. Frank Press is president of the National Academy of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering of the United States was established in
1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization
of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection
of its membem, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for
advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors
engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research,
and recognizes the superior achievement of engineers. Dr. Robert M. White is president
of the National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 lay the National Academy of Sciences
to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination
of policy matted pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the
responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences lay its congressional charter to
be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of
medical care, research, and education. Dr. Samuel O. Thier is president of the Institute of
Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences
in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy's
purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in
accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Research Council has
become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the
National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and
the scientific and engineering communities. The Research Council is administered jointly
by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Frank Press and Dr. Robert M.
White are chairman and vice-chairman, respectively, of the National Research Council.

National Research Council
Dear Dr. Brown:
Decerber 29, 1989
As you know, the National Academies of Sciences and Engineering have
undertaken a number of initiatives to stimulate thinking about how U.S e-Japan
relations, particularly in science and technology, can be developed in the
years ahead to ensure that both countries benefit. Two high-level bilateral
meetings were convened, the Office of Japan Affairs was established, and the
Committee on Japan was organized to provide programmatic guidance and to
address the policy issues surrounding a rapidly changing US~Japan relationship
in science and technology.
Recently, we have had the opportunity to review the issues paper prepared by
your committee entitled "Science, Technology and the Future of US-Japan
Relations." m e paper crystallizes the views of the members of the Committee
on Japan, who are uniquely qualified to examine the linkages between science
and technology and the broader context of trade, security and diplomacy. By
outl ming a new context for US-Japan relations, and identifying the challenges
that must be faced if both countries are to remain on the frontlines of
science and technology, the Committee on Japan has laid a foundation for
further debate and discussion by policymakers, business and academic leaders
in both countries. In view of the importance we attach to the views
expressed, we recommend that the Committee on Japan make the paper available
to a wide audience.

OFFICE OF JAPAN AFFAIRS
Since 1985, the National Academy of Sciences and the National
Academy of Engineering have engaged in a series of high-level discus-
sions on advanced technology and the international environment with
a counterpart group of Japanese scientists, engineers, and industrial-
ists. One outcome of these discussions was a deepened understand-
ing of the importance of promoting a more balanced two-way flow of
people and information between the research and development sys-
tems in the two countries. Another result was a broader recognition
of the need to address the science and technology policy issues in-
creasingly central to a changing U.S.-lapan relationship. In 1987, the
National Research Council, the operating arm of both the National
Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering, au-
thorized first-year funding for a new Office of Japan Affairs (OlA).
This newest program element of the Office of International Affairs
was formally established in the spring of 19SS.
The primary objectives of OIA are to provide a resource to the
Academy complex and the broader U.S. science and engineering
communities for information on Japanese science and technology; to
promote better working relationships between the technical commu-
nities in the two countries by developing a process of deepened dialog
on issues of mutual concern; and to address policy issues surrounding
a changing U.S.-Iapan science and technology relationship.
