SUBJECT: TRADE COMMENTS AT DINNER WITH
DELEGATES FROM JAPANESE DIET
YOUR PRESENCE HERE TONIGHT IS TESTIMONY TO THE IMPORTANCE WHICH YOUR LEADERS ATTACH TO RESOLVING OUR GROWING TRADE FRICTIONS. I, THEREFORE, WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN THE POLITICS OF OUR TRADING RELATIONSHIP WITH JAPAN.
YOU HAVE HEARD THAT CONGRESS IS SEIZED WITH A PROTECTIONIST FERVOR UNLIKE ANY WE HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME, AND THAT IS TRUE. YOU HAVE PROBABLY READ EDITORIALS FROM AMERICAN PAPERS STATING THAT CONGRESSIONAL ATTITUDES TOWARD JAPAN ARE AN EXPRESSION OF THIS PROTECTIONISM. THAT IS NOT TRUE.
CONGRESSIONAL FRUSTRATION WITH JAPANESE TRADE BARRIERS HAS BEEN GROWING FOR YEARS, LONG BEFORE WE ENTERED THE CURRENT PERIOD OF PROTECTIONIST FERVOR. THE FACT THAT FRUSTRATION WITH JAPAN HAS REACHED A CRISIS AT THE SAME TIME THAT WE ARE SEEING A SURGE OF PROTECTIONIST SENTIMENT IS PARTLY BUT NOT ENTIRELY COINCIDENTAL. PROTECTIONIST SENTIMENT HAS CLEARLY FUELED U. S. ANGER TOWARD JAPANESE TRADE BARRIERS. NONETHELESS, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT THE ATTITUDE
1 OF 2
[page 2]
TOWARD JAPAN HAS A SEPARATE SOURCE AND RATIONALE FROM WHAT IS COMMONLY DESCRIBED AS PROTECTIONISM.
WHAT IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO IS FAIRNESS.
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OUR BILATERAL TRADE DEFICIT WOULD BE LARGER OR SMALLER, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER JAPAN EXPORTS MORE AUTOS, VCRS OR COMPUTER CHIPS TO THE U.S., MOST MEMBERS OF CONGRESS BELIEVE THAT JAPAN HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE TRADING SYSTEM WITHOUT BEARING ANY SIGNIFICANT MEASURE OF THE RESPONSIBILITY WHICH THAT SYSTEM PRESUPPOSED. WITHOUT GETTING INTO THE MERITS OF WHETHER YOUR SYSTEM IS IN FACT OPEN AND WHETHER OUR FRUSTRATION IS JUSTIFIED, I DID WANT TO CONVEY THIS MESSAGE. THE MESSAGE IS, DON'T DISMISS OUR CURRENT TRADE FRICTIONS AS MERE PROTECTIONISM. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL AND NEW YORK TIMES MAY GET AWAY WITH THAT KIND OF SIMPLIFICATION, BUT YOU WILL BE MISTAKEN IF YOU ACCEPT THAT FALLACY.

TOAST
DINNER FOR NIKAIDO DELEGATION
OCTOBER 8, 1985
MR. NIKAIDO, MEMBERS OF THE DELEGATION, MR. AMBASSADOR, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
A LITTLE MORE THAN SIX WEEKS AGO, MOST OF THE SENATORS HERE WERE IN TOKYO, ENJOYING THE HOSITALITY OF THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT. TONIGHT, ALL OF US ARE PLEASED TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO RECIPROCATE A BIT OF THAT HOSPITALITY.
WE WENT TO TOKYO AS FRIENDS, AND WE ARE PLEASED TO WELCOME YOU HERE IN THAT SAME SPIRIT.
WHEN WE WERE IN JAPAN, WE WERE GIVEN A FULL OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK OUR PIECE. WE SPOKE FRANKLY, AS FRIENDS SHOULD. AND WE TALKED MOSTLY ABOUT THE MAJOR BILATERAL ISSUE BETWEEN US, THE ISSUE OF TRADE. OUR DELEGATION HAD A FULL OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD.
WHILE YOU ARE HERE, WE WANT YOU TO SPEAK WITH EQUAL CANDOR. AND, WE PLEDGE, WE WILL LISTEN WITH EQUAL ATTENTION. THAT IS THE WAY FRIENDS DEAL WITH EACH OTHER. THAT IS THE WAY PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED.
AND I AM CONFIDENT, AS BOTH OF US DISCUSS WITH CANDOR AND THOROUGHNESS THE ISSUE OF TRADE, AND ANY OTHER WHICH
[page 6]
-2-
MIGHT ARISE, WE WILL BOTH DO SO IN A BROADER RECOGNITION: THAT NEITHER OF US HAS A MORE IMPORTANT BILATERAL PARTNER THAN THE OTHER; THAT NEITHER OF US CAN FULLY ACHIEVE OUR GOALS WITHOUT THE FRIENDSHIP AND COOPERATION OF THE OTHER; THAT NEITHER OF US, WORKING ALONE, CAN ACCOMPLISH WHAT BOTH OF US, WORKING TOGETHER, CAN.
YOUR VISIT HERE OFFERS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO TALK TOGETHER AND WORK TOGETHER. WE ARE PLEASED YOU ARE HERE, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO A CONTINUATION OF THE DIALOGUE WE HAVE BEGUN.
IN THAT SPIRIT, LET ME OFFER A TOAST TO PRIME MINISTER NAKASONE AND TO THE FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN OUR COUNTRIES, WHICH THE PRIME MINISTER HAS DONE SO MUCH TO ADVANCE.

CONGRESSIONAL FRUSTRATION WITH JAPANESE TRADE BARRIERS HAS BEEN GROWING FOR YEARS, LONG BEFORE WE ENTERED THE CURRENT PERIOD OF PROTECTIONIST FERVOR. THE FACT THAT FRUSTRATION WITH JAPAN HAS REACHED A CRISIS AT THE SAME TIME THAT WE ARE SEEING A SURGE OF PROTECTIONIST SENTIMENT IS PARTLY BUT NOT ENTIRELY COINCIDENTAL. PROTECTIONIST SENTIMENT HAS CLEARLY FUELED U.S. ANGER TOWARD JAPANESE TRADE BARRIERS. NONETHELESS, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT THE ATTITUDE
1 OF 2
[page 4]
TOWARD JAPAN HAS A SEPARATE SOURCE AND RATIONALE FROM WHAT IS COMMONLY DESCRIBED AS PROTECTIONISM.
WHAT IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO IS FAIRNESS. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OUR BILATERAL TRADE DEFICIT WOULD BE LARGER OR SMALLER, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER JAPAN EXPORTS MORE AUTOS, VCRS OR COMPUTER CHIPS TO THE U.S., MOST MEMBERS OF CONGRESS BELIEVE THAT JAPAN HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE TRADING SYSTEM WITHOUT BEARING ANY SIGNIFICANT MEASURE OF THE RESPONSIBILITY WHICH THAT SYSTEM PRESUPPOSED. WITHOUT GETTING INTO THE MERITS OF WHETHER YOUR SYSTEM IS IN FACT OPEN AND WHETHER OUR FRUSTRATION IS JUSTIFIED, I DID WANT TO CONVEY THIS MESSAGE. THE MESSAGE IS, DON'T DISMISS OUR CURRENT TRADE FRICTIONS AS MERE PROTECTIONISM. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL AND NEW YORK TIMES MAY GET AWAY WITH THAT KIND OF SIMPLIFICATION, BUT YOU WILL BE MISTAKEN IF YOU ACCEPT THAT FALLACY.

TOAST
DINNER FOR NIKAIDO DELEGATION
OCTOBER 8, 1985
MR. NIKAIDO, MEMBERS OF THE DELEGATION, MR. AMBASSADOR, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
A LITTLE MORE THAN SIX WEEKS AGO, MOST OF THE SENATORS HERE WERE IN TOKYO, ENJOYING THE HOSITALITY OF THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT. TONIGHT, ALL OF US ARE PLEASED TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO RECIPROCATE A BIT OF THAT HOSPITALITY.
WE WENT TO TOKYO AS FRIENDS, AND WE ARE PLEASED TO WELCOME YOU HERE IN THAT SAME SPIRIT.
WHEN WE WERE IN JAPAN, WE WERE GIVEN A FULL OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK OUR PIECE. WE SPOKE FRANKLY, AS FRIENDS SHOULD. AND WE TALKED MOSTLY ABOUT THE MAJOR BILATERAL ISSUE BETWEEN US, THE ISSUE OF TRADE. OUR DELEGATION HAD A FULL OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD.
WHILE YOU ARE HERE, WE WANT YOU TO SPEAK WITH EQUAL CANDOR. AND, WE PLEDGE, WE WILL LISTEN WITH EQUAL ATTENTION. THAT IS THE WAY FRIENDS DEAL WITH EACH OTHER. THAT IS THE WAY PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED.
AND I AM CONFIDENT, AS BOTH OF US DISCUSS WITH CANDOR AND THOROUGHNESS THE ISSUE OF TRADE, AND ANY OTHER WHICH
[page 6]
-2-
MIGHT ARISE, WE WILL BOTH DO SO IN A BROADER RECOGNITION: THAT NEITHER OF US HAS A MORE IMPORTANT BILATERAL PARTNER THAN THE OTHER; THAT NEITHER OF US CAN FULLY ACHIEVE OUR GOALS WITHOUT THE FRIENDSHIP AND COOPERATION OF THE OTHER; THAT NEITHER OF US, WORKING ALONE, CAN ACCOMPLISH WHAT BOTH OF US, WORKING TOGETHER, CAN.
YOUR VISIT HERE OFFERS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO TALK TOGETHER AND WORK TOGETHER. WE ARE PLEASED YOU ARE HERE, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO A CONTINUATION OF THE DIALOGUE WE HAVE BEGUN.
IN THAT SPIRIT, LET ME OFFER A TOAST TO PRIME MINISTER NAKASONE AND TO THE FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN OUR COUNTRIES, WHICH THE PRIME MINISTER HAS DONE SO MUCH TO ADVANCE.
