The foregoing members of the Foreign Affairs Committees of
the upper and lower Houses of the Japanese Diet paid a courtesy call
on me this afternoon at 2:30. After an exchange of the usual
pleasantries and a formal expression of appreciation by Mr. Ohmura
of my role in the San Francisco Peace Conference, Mr. Sasaki ex-
pressod the interest and concern of the Japanese over the question
of the Ryukyus, Habonai and Shikotan. In reply, I stated that
Mr. Dulles and others in the Department were working on the former
problem. Mr. Muto expressed the interest of the Japanese in the
Administrative Agreement for the implementation of the Security
Treaty and requested my views concerning the timing of negotiations
between the United States and Japan of the Agreement. He specific-
ally asked whether 1.t was my view that the Agreement should be
negotiated before ratification of the Security Treaty by the U. s.
Senate. In reply, Nr. Johnson stated that there were many complex
problems to be rosolved in connection with the Agreement and that
the U. S. Dovernment had not yet reached decisions on all of the
questions. However, the U. S. Government was working most urgently
on these questions in order that it would be in a position to enter
into negotiations with the Japanese at the earliest possible moment
and that in his personal view there was not necessarily any direct
relationship between the timing of those negotiations and ratifica-
tion of the Securi ty Treaty by the U. S. Congress.
