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.
