Foreign Office Southeast Asia Section Deputy Chief Wasuke MIYAKE
furnished the reporting officer with a copy of his Section's closely
held internal Foreign Office draft paper entitled "On Our Country's
Cooperation with an International Supervisory Organ, 11 an Embassy
translation of which is enclosed.
Miyake emphasized the tentative level of acceptance of the ideas exposed
in the paper, but said that as yet unpublicized discussions among senior
official and political figures concerning Japan's participation in such a
force in Vietnam had now moved from "if" to "how. 11 Miyake said
that Ambassador Kitahara, now in Tokyo on leave from Saigon, had been
discussing this with Japanese Government and Liberal-Democratic Party
leaders and found that acceptance of the concept, though not yet
universal, is growing and outright opposition has faded.
The paper reviews the financial, materiel and personnel contributions
which Japan might make to such a force and examines the legal basis
which might be employed to dispatch Self-Defense Force members or
police officers to Vietnam for this purpose. Miyake said that the Prime
Minister's office had already agreed to a confidential set-aside in the
Prime Minister's contingency fund to allow for swift Japanese
participation in a Vietnam inspection force without first having to go
to the Diet for an appropriation.
