THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1992
The agreement I sign today 11:45 is A.M. an important position
development stening from my 1 January timp to Japan.
Today marks a significant milestone for both the United
States and Japan -- this ceremony is the first step toward our
two countries becoming equal partners in trade. When I went on
the trade mission to Japan in January, I was heartened by the
famous words of Benjamin Disraeli, "Success is the child of
Audacity. Our audacity prevailed over my flu and this "paper

trade" agreement is an important part of the trip's success.
requirements stuming from
The broader commitment which Prime Minister Miyazawa and I
made during my trade visit to Japan in January is the "Global
Partnership Plan of Action," an agreement to strengthen trade
between our two countries -- and to make the relationship between
us a true partnership by equalizing the trade balance between our
nations.
The "paper trade" agreement will increase market access for
foreign firms exporting paper products to Japan. Hereafter, the
Government of Japan will encourage its paper distributors,
converters, printers and major corporate users to increase
imports of foreign paper products. That official encouragement
will open the way for America's paper industry to export their
products to Japan's $27 billion market.
Today's action is good for American industry and good for
the Japanese consumer. It is also an important step forward for
our global trading system.
This alliance recognizes that with a more global world, it
is even more important to build mutually-beneficial partnerships
among nations. As William McKinley said back in 1897, "Good
trade insures good will." The partnership between the United
States of America and Japan assures that the hallmark of the new
globalization of trade will be world-class quality, competitive
pricing and excellent service.
This alliance also recognizes that interactive partnerships
like this one strengthen each of us. At the same time, it
strengthens the relationship between us and makes the world a
better, friendlier place for our children and grandchildren.

will become available for shipment to Japan in October of this
year, and we hope this will be the spur which will make Honda
seriously take on distributing our products in their country.
They have recently appointed a senior marketing executive to head
up their import division, and we hope he will be empowered to
make an honest effort to promote our producte.
Additionally, we will continue to work at lowering the out-of-
line distribution costs which drive up the consumer price of our
Toledo, Ohio-sourced Jeep, when compared to a Marysville, Ohio
Honda Accord. These two vehicles are built just 76 miles apart,
but carry distribution margin costs of 36 percent in the case of
the Jeep versus 25 percent for the Accord. To the Japanese
consumer, that means another $4,000 in price which, of course,
discourages purchase of these vehicles in volume. Also, we are
looking for the Department of Commerce to finish the job which
they started in the area of certification and homologation costs,
wherein another $3,500 is added to the consumers' invoice which
just doesn't need to be there.
We look forward to the continued active support of the Bush
Administration in opening the Japanese market. This type of
constant pressure from Washington will certainly assist the
resolution of the specific problems noted above and, thereby,
significantly enhance our sales efforts. There are opportunities
in Japan, but they only will become available if the mode of
operating is radically changed.
I am watching with great interest the announcements of Attorney
General Barr, and we hope this means that the U.S. Government
will help private companies in breaking up the Japanese Keiretsu
system which prevents volume sales of American automotive
products. The annual $28 billion dollar auto trade deficit is
not going to go away overnight and will be, unfortunately, locked
in place unless this Administration actively takes every means at
its disposal to make the Japanese understand that the President
meant what he said when he went to Japan stating that bottom line
results are necessary if the relationship between our two nations
is to remain firm and positive.
Lastly, please come by and visit Chrysler. We have a lot of
exciting things going on in terms of new products, a new
technology center, and a new assembly plant, as well as a new
platform team approach to bringing forward new products. You
have an open invitation.
Sincerely,
Fee.

This alliance recognizes that with a more global world, it
is even more important to build mutually-beneficial partnerships
among nations. As William McKinley said back in 1897, "Good
trade insures good will." The partnership between the United
States of America and Japan assures that the hallmark of the new
globalization of trade will be world-class quality, competitive
pricing and excellent service.
This alliance also recognizes that interactive partnerships

Today marks a significant milestone for both the United
States and Japan -- this ceremony is the first step toward our
two countries becoming equal partners in trade. When I went on
the trade mission to Japan in January, I was heartened by the
famous words of Benjamin Disraeli, "Success is the child of
Audacity.' Our audacity prevailed over my flu and this "paper
trade" agreement is an important part of the trip's success.
The broader commitment which Prime Minister Miyazawa and I
made during my trade visit to Japan in January is the "Global
Partnership Plan of Action," an agreement to strengthen trade
between our two countries -- and to make the relationship between
us a true partnership by equalizing the trade balance between our
nations.
The "paper trade" agreement will increase market access for
foreign firms exporting paper products to Japan. Hereafter, the
Government of Japan will encourage its paper distributors,
converters, printers and major corporate users to increase
imports of foreign paper products. That official encouragement
will open the way for America's paper industry to export their
products to Japan's $27 billion market.
Today's action is good for American industry and good for
