2002 U.S.-Japan Private Sector/Government Commission
The United States and Japan today announced the membership of the
U.S.-Japan Private Sector/Government Commission for the year
2002. The Commission, made up of U.S. and Japanese
government and private sector representatives, was launched in June
2001 by President Bush and Prime Minister Koizumi as an integral
feature of the U.S.-Japan Economic Partnership for
Growth. The aim of the Commission is to more fully integrate
the U.S. and Japanese private sectors into the economic work of the two
governments. As the United States and Japanese Governments
work together to tackle a range of difficult economic issues, the
private sector is in a unique position to offer its expertise and
recommendations.
The Commission is scheduled to have its inaugural meeting in the
Tokyo area in the spring and will address the following topics: "Creating an
Environment for Sustainable Growth: Raising Productivity and Corporate
Revitalization."
