I am pleased to present the Commission’s Biennial Report for Fiscal Years 2001 and 2002.

Ten days after the horrific events of September 11, 2001, I attended my first meeting of the Japan-US Friendship 

Commission. In the weeks and months following 9/11, as America reassessed its position in the global community and 

prepared for a transition in its thinking and actions, a transition was also taking place at the Commission.

Two-thirds of the Commission’s eighteen members changed in the period covered by this report, and I became 

Chairman on October 1, 2001. Over the past year, the new board has looked closely at the Commission’s mission with 

the aim of examining the challenges that face the bilateral relationship in a new global context. In this fluid world, 

how can the Commission address these challenges in a significant and timely fashion? While the base of expertise on 

Japan in the United States remains strong and meaningful, there are changes to the Commission’s guidelines that 

reflect the commissioners’ response to this new situation.

Chief among the changes is elimination of support for Policy Research and Infrastructure Building as separate 

categories. The Commission has not eliminated support for these fields per se; rather, it has incorporated support for 

these activities under its programs for Japanese Studies and the Study of the United States, as a way to emphasize its 

highest priority: the development and maintenance of area studies expertise on the societies, political economies and 

cultures of the United States and Japan and on the bilateral relationship.

As my friend and colleague Richard Wood – chairman in the first half of the period covered in this report – reported 

to you in the last biennial report, the Commission’s financial base remains stable. The Commission continues to 

receive more proposals worthy of support than it can afford to fund, and the issue of how to accommodate the broad 

range of high quality ventures remains a challenge for the current Board. It looks forward to this challenge in an era of 

increasingly diminished resources for US-Japan exchanges.

I would like to say a word about CULCON, a binational advisory panel to the US and Japanese governments that I 

chair concurrently with the Commission. While Richard Wood was still at the helm of the US CULCON Panel, 

CULCON held its twentieth plenary session in Los Angeles in May, 2001. The meeting represented a departure from 

CULCON’s past in two important ways.

First, never before had a CULCON plenary session in the US been held outside of Washington, DC. The venue itself, 

the Japanese American National Museum, highlighted the theme of American cultural diversity that infused the 

proceedings.

Second, CULCON agreed at the plenary session to push ahead further than it ever had before in developing a CULCON 

website as a teaching resource on US-Japan educational and cultural relations over the past fifty years. We look 

A Message From The Chairman
Japan-United States Friendship Commission — 2001–2002 Biennial Report

http://www.jusfc.gov/grant-programs/biennial-reports/2001-2002-biennial-report/ (3 of 36)03/28/12 10:53:04 AM

forward to our next CULCON plenary session in November, 2003 in Sendai, Japan with this level of implementation 

as a precedent.

Under the current leadership of Commissioner Patricia Steinhoff, an accomplished team at the University of Hawaii 

and a counterpart team in Japan are developing this project. Cross Currents, as it is known, is unique for many 

reasons, one of which is that it is a truly binational project, another of which is that it is creating a new field of 

scholarship in looking carefully at the junctures where interaction between the two cultures has had significant 

influence.

I would also like to say a word about the Commission’s most recent field of activity: helping raise funds for the USJapan Bridging Foundation. In 1993, CULCON set as its highest priority the goal of increasing the number of 

American undergraduates studying in Japan. While the Commission, in conjunction with its several counterpart 

funding organizations, helped organize administrative structures that would facilitate such exchanges, it could not 

directly address the core issue: the high cost of a year of study in Japan. The Commission does not provide individual 

fellowships or scholarships.

Thus, in 1998 the Commission created the US-Japan Bridging Foundation, a private sector non-profit to raise funds 

for scholarships. It set as its goal a cash fund of $2M to help send a new wave of undergraduates to study in Japan. 

The Foundation has succeeded beyond our expectations. Thus far it has:

I would like to congratulate the Foundation and all the members of its board and staff who have worked so hard to 

achieve its successes to date.

In closing, I would like to thank the commissioners with whom I am working closely to effect change in the 

Commission, CULCON and the Bridging Foundation. I would also like to thank the Commission officers and staff for 

their outstanding job of managing the affairs of the Commission.

● Raised $1.8M for scholarships;

● Awarded 291 scholarships for US undergraduates to study in Japan;

● Garnered support from over 30 corporations, foundations, and individuals;

● Increased the goal from 400 to 500 scholarships awarded by setting a new target of $2.5M for its fundraising 

campaign;

● Obtained financial self-sufficiency from the Commission.

Japan-United States Friendship Commission — 2001–2002 Biennial Report

http://www.jusfc.gov/grant-programs/biennial-reports/2001-2002-biennial-report/ (9 of 36)03/28/12 10:53:04 AM

The Japan-United States Friendship Commission (“JUSFC”; “Commission”) is pleased to submit this report on its 

twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth years of operations for the period October 1, 2000 to September 30, 2002, which 

corresponds to the federal Fiscal Years 2001 and 2002.

The JUSFC is an independent federal agency, dedicated to providing opportunities for research, training, education 

and exchange between the United States and Japan. In passing the Japan-United States Friendship Act (PL 94-118) in 

1975 to establish the Commission, Congress acknowledged the unique character and great importance of the 

relationship between Japan and the United States, and in particular the need to strengthen its foundation through 

educational and cultural exchange programs at the people-to-people level. It was searching for the means to develop 

the knowledge, the leaders and the friendly associations that in turn would improve the likelihood that any problems 

that might arise on the national level could be resolved on a basis of mutual understanding and respect.

Thus the Congress established the Commission, a unique federal agency in that its purpose is to promote 

understanding with a single foreign country. In the Friendship Act, Congress also appropriated the Japan-United 

States Friendship Trust Fund, an endowment denominated in both yen and dollars with a combined value of 

approximately $36M at the exchange rate then in effect. These two funds represented a portion of the money paid by 

Japan to compensate the United States for post-World War II assistance, and for certain public facilities on Okinawa 

at the time of the reversion of the Ryukyus. The former payment became the yen fund, and the latter the dollar fund. 

The Commission was authorized to invest the Fund in government obligations, and to expend the interest earnings, 

subject to annual appropriation, and up to five percent annually of the principal of the Fund to carry out the purposes 

of the Act. In 1982, the Act was amended to permit the Commission to invest any gifts it may receive and to spend the 

principal and interest earnings from gifts without reference to the appropriations process. The Act was amended 

again in 1998 to make the dollar and yen funds interchangeable at the Commission’s discretion, allowing it to seek the 

highest return on its investments in government obligations in either or both of the two countries.

Although governmental, the Commission operates much like a private foundation. It is composed of a board of 

eighteen commissioners and a permanent staff of four officers. The Board is divided equally between nine senior 

representatives of the United States government from the legislative and executive branches, and nine private citizens, 

including the chairman. Of these eighteen, twelve members, including the private citizens and the representatives 

from the Departments of State and Education, serve ex officio on the Commission by virtue of their appointment to 

CULCON, a binational advisory board to the two governments in educational and cultural affairs. The Board’s 

responsibility is to manage the Trust Fund by investing it and using the proceeds to make grants to institutions in the

Background and Overview
Japan-United States Friendship Commission — 2001–2002 Biennial Report

United States and Japan to develop programs of education and exchange.

The JUSFC mission remains as valid now as when it was established. The relationship between Japan and the United 

States is unique in sheer size, in its variety and complexity, and in its mixture of cooperation and competition, 

friendship and rivalry. That relationship, however, stands on the cusp of change.

The regional and global environments that surround and condition the bilateral relationship are in the process of 

restructuring. Globalzation has changed the terms of international trade, and this has in turn impacted the core 

concerns of US-Japan trade and economic relations permanently. The consequences of this new global economic 

environment are still unknown. International terrorism is even now in the process of changing the terms of global 

security. This again has profound implications for US-Japan security and political relations that are only now 

beginning to be identified. The new global environment has forced both nations to examine anew the fundamental 

character of bilateral economic, security and political ties and to reassess their optimal management.

The history of the past fifty years demonstrates that the United States and Japan have much in common in terms of 

broad national objectives. In the short term, however, each nation has its own objectives and concerns, and 

identification with each other’s objectives and concerns has become more difficult in the new global environment. 

Moreover, the record of the past fifty years shows that differences in thought patterns, value systems, social and 

economic behavior, decision-making processes and means of communication can readily lead to mutual 

misunderstanding and friction. There is above all a language barrier that all too often forces each nation to react to 

the other through stereotypes. There is a severe imbalance in the amount of attention that the media in the two 

countries devote to each other. There is, moreover, growing recognition that many of the problems that exist and 

persist in the relationship are not amenable to easy solutions occasioned by enhanced cultural understanding. We 

need greater knowledge of the character and causes of these problems, leading to mutual deliberation and wise policy. 

Clearly, we need new ways of thinking about management of the relationship. It is the Commission’s purpose to help 

make available the expertise and information necessary both for productive deliberation and effective policy.

The Commission today has a new sense of purpose and a more focused program of activity to meet the conditions both 

of its financial management and of the bilateral relationship. It asks that the projects it supports take cognizance of 

the new relationship and each in its own way contribute back to the public good that Congress envisioned and sought 

to embody in PL 94-118.

Program Highlights

1. Japanese Studies in the United States
Japan-United States Friendship Commission — 2001–2002 Biennial Report

http://www.jusfc.gov/grant-programs/biennial-reports/2001-2002-biennial-report/ (11 of 36)03/28/12 10:53:04 AM

The Commission pursues as its fundamental mandate the promotion of expertise on Japan throughout the American 

public. Its primary means of accomplishing this goal is through the maintenance of the vitality of Japanese studies in 

institutions of American higher education and associated professional organizations. Thus, as has been the case in 

previous years, Japanese studies in the United States remained the largest single category of Commission support in 

this period.

To help support basic research in the field, the Commission continued its practice in both fiscal years of making block 

grants to the Social Science Research Council and the Northeast Asian Council of the Association for Asian Studies. 

These two organizations provide support from the Commission’s grants to individual research projects on the 

contemporary Japanese political economy and society, selected through peer review. In support of Japanese language 

library collections and information management, the Commission continued its support of the North American 

Coordinating Council for Japanese Library Resources (NCC). In support of advanced Japanese language training, the 

Commission continued to provide major support to the Interuniversity Center for Japanese Language Studies in 

Yokohama. In addition, it made a second grant to the Association of Teachers of Japanese (ATJ) in FY 2001 to 

complete a two-year assessment of the state of advanced Japanese language training available to American university 

students. Also, it continued to support the Alliance of Associations of Teachers of Japanese in both years. This new 

coordinating structure will help create a seamless transition of Japanese language study from the K-12 level into the 

university as its work progresses, as well as a unified Japanese language standard. In support of this latter effort, the 

Commission made a grant to the University of Oregon in FY 2002 to help support the effort to create a national 

proficiency exam for high schools students wishing to continue their study of the Japanese language in college.

The close relationship between the Commission and CULCON has also led to a high degree of coordination between 

Commission support in Japanese studies and CULCON priorities. In the two fiscal years under report, the most 

significant expressions of this close coordination were the Commission’s continued support of administration of the 

Bridging Project Clearinghouse inside the ATJ, continued support of the faculty and curriculum development project 

at the University of Pennsylvania, and in particular, in-kind support for the US-Japan Bridging Foundation, which 

serves to raise funds to help send more US undergraduates to study in Japan, a long-standing CULCON priority.

This category, perhaps more than any other in the period under report, demonstrates the Commission’s new sense of 

activism in shaping programs to its own interest and specifications. During this period the Commission continued its 

long-standing support of a program of exchanges between members of the American Studies Association of the United 

States and of the Japanese Association of American Studies, as well as between members of the Organization of 

American Historians and their colleagues in Japan, and the Economic History Association and their colleagues in 

2. The Study of the United States in Japan

Japan. Through these programs, designed by the Commission itself, it aims to achieve two goals: first, to expand 

opportunities for Japanese academics and graduate students to interact with colleagues from the United States and 

develop networks for future research and exchange; and second, to help further the process of the internationalization 

of American studies in the United States.

Senior figures in the field of the Study of the United States in Japan have continued to express their concern to the 

Commission that their highest priority lies in the support of graduate students entering the field in Japan, and the 

nurturing of a new generation to take their place as the current generation of specialists at Japanese universities 

begins to retire. The Commission studied the issue in consultation with experts both in the United States and in Japan 

and then worked with the Graduate School for American Studies at Doshisha University in Kyoto to devise a national 

competition for Japanese students of American studies for funds to support of their field research in the United 

States. The Commission funded a pilot program for this effort in FY 2002 and looks forward to its success, as well as 

similar developments in the future.

Since the mid-1980s, the Commission has made a concerted effort to take an active stance vis-à-vis the US-Japan 

relationship and the serious policy challenges facing both countries in learning to manage that relationship more 

effectively. It has done this by giving support to policy research projects dealing with a broad range of topics: 

economic, political and security relations with Japan, to begin with, as well as the political economy of Japan, its 

international relations and social policy.

Readers will find a wide range of subject matters covered in the Commission’s support of policy research in FY 2001 

and FY 2002, as well as distribution of support across a broad range of research organizations. Of particular interest 

were two two-year projects funded over the two fiscal years in this period, one on the new regional and global 

environment of US-Japan security and economic relations, and the other, a binational study group on ways in which 

the United States and Japan can cooperate in international arms control and nuclear non-proliferation. The former 

grant demonstrates the Commission’s commitment to exploring the magnitude of change in the global environment 

that effective management of the bilateral relationship must now take into account. The latter supports work of an 

advisory group to a binational commission established by the US and Japanese governments to implement more 

effective cooperation in the field of non-proliferation.

In sponsoring policy research projects the Commission intends that the results of these research efforts be pertinent to 

policymakers concerned with Japan in the Congress, the executive branch, various think tanks, academe and the 

media. It also bases consideration of support of proposals on the degree to which the project directors can assure the 

Commission of a solid dissemination plan to take the results of the research to those most concerned with policies that

guide US management of the bilateral relationship. In the future, the Commission will place more emphasis on the 

degree of expertise on Japan and Japan-related skills and training that the organizers of potential research projects 

bring with them in their proposals to the Commission.

In this category, the Commission endeavors to meet the growing demand for information on Japan throughout the 

United States. It emphasizes projects that provide education and information both to selected groups of political and 

professional leadership, and to the American public at large. These projects fall under two headings: Counterpart 

Exchanges and Media.

In the area of counterpart exchanges, the Commission continued to give highest priority to legislative exchange 

programs between the United States and Japan in FY 2001 and FY 2002. These included the US-Japan Economic 

Agenda Legislative Exchange Program at The George Washington University for meetings between members of the 

Japanese Diet and US Congress, the United States Association of Former Members of Congress for the Congressional 

Study Group on Japan, and the Congressional Economic Leadership Institute for support of study tours of Japan by 

Members of Congress and their staff. In the future, the Commission will seek to expand its support of counterpart 

exchanges to include a broad array of professional groups and interests.

Through its close ties to CULCON, the Commission began support of a binational effort to create a website of the 

history of the past fifty years of US-Japan educational and cultural exchange and interaction. Known as Cross 

Currents, this site will provide a rich array of multimedia resources that document that history and offers appropriate 

teaching guides for students in grades 7-16. Previewed at CULCON XX in Los Angeles in May, 2001, the first 

installment of the site will be unveiled at the next plenary session of CULCON in Japan in November, 2003. In 

support of that work, the Commission made a grant to the University of Hawaii in FY 2002 for the development of 

Cross Currents.

In FY 2001 the Commission helped launch the Japan-US Forum at the National Bureau of Asian Research, a public online forum on Japan and bilateral US-Japan relations. This pilot project proved extremely successful, and the 

Commission has continued its support of this effort through FY 2002 and beyond.

The Commission continues to support projects in the arts of the highest merit, in the firm belief that art is one of the

5. The Arts

most effective means of fostering better understanding between the two countries. It recognizes that it must take an 

increasingly selective approach to funding in this field, given financial pressures in other program areas. Thus 

beginning in FY 1999, the Commission set as its priority in the arts support for projects to send American exhibitions 

and performing arts to Japan.

Presentation of American arts and artists, especially at venues outside Tokyo, does not have a well-established 

history. While the Commission worked to implement this priority directly through its own efforts in the two years 

under consideration, it also worked closely with the National Endowment for the Arts to design a structure under the 

Commission’s Infrastructure Building program that would take on the work of facilitating the presentation of 

American art in Japan. Thus, in FY 2002 the Commission made a grant to Arts Midwest to establish the Cultural 

Trade Network, an office inside Arts Midwest devoted to this purpose. The pilot program proved successful, and the 

Commission continued to support it in the next year with the expectation that it would help not only increase the flow 

of American performing art to Japan, but also help leverage funding from state and local sources to support the costs 

of such exchanges.

In FY 2001 and FY 2002 the Commission continued to work closely with the National Endowment for the Arts and the 

Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs in sponsoring the US-Japan Creative Artists Exchange Fellowship Program. The 

five Fellows spend six months in Japan, immersed in Japanese culture and its manifestations in their particular fields 

and training in the arts. In addition, the Commission continued to provide support to the International House of 

Japan to hire an expert to facilitate the program on site. In FY 2002, the Commission provided a second grant to the 

International House to upgrade the program by adding a fund for resident Fellows to use for collaborative projects 

while they are in Japan.

In 2001, the Creative Artist Exchange Fellowship Program received generous support from the Freeman Foundation 

of Vermont through a grant to the US-Japan Bridging Foundation to support two additional artists for the 2002 

Program, as well as significantly enhance facilitative services in Japan.

CULCON (the US-Japan Conference on Cultural and Educational Interchange), a bi-national advisory panel to the 

governments of the United States and of Japan, serves to focus official and public attention in both countries on the 

vital cultural and educational underpinnings of the bilateral relationship. Its origins lie in discussions held in 1961 

between President John F. Kennedy and Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda.

6. CULCON
Japan-United States Friendship Commission — 2001–2002 Biennial Report

http://www.jusfc.gov/grant-programs/biennial-reports/2001-2002-biennial-report/ (15 of 36)03/28/12 10:53:04 AM

Beginning in 1978, CULCON became a program of the United States Information Agency, reverting to Department of 

State oversight with the consolidation of foreign affairs agencies in 1999. In 1991, permanent secretariats were 

established in Tokyo and Washington to provide continuity to CULCON activities. The US Secretariat was established 

inside the Commission. Since 1991, US CULCON has become a highly visible, proactive organization, emphasizing the 

implementation of CULCON recommendations, frequently with the Commission’s professional and financial support.

In the 1990s, CULCON activity focused on two primary working groups: undergraduate educational exchange and 

information access. There also was considerable activity in media cooperation. Breaking with precedent, CULCON 

held its nineteenth plenary session outside Tokyo and Washington, in Naha, Okinawa in February, 1999 and then its 

twentieth session in Los Angeles in 2001. CULCON XX provided the opportunity to review the work of the Digital 

Culture Working Group, the current highest priority of CULCON, helping it harness the power of the Internet to its 

mission of improving educational and cultural relations between the two countries.

Support for this Working Group has been provided by the Commission in the form of the grant to University of Hawaii 

to develop Cross Currents, as previously described. This and several other important CULCON initiatives have 

provided the impetus for much of the Commission’s new activism in shaping the projects that it supports. The record 

of this new cooperation between the two entities is found in the narrative of the Commission’s grant-making activities 

in 2001 and 2002 above.

NOTE: In the listings below, in many cases Commission support met only partial costs of the total project. Readers 

interested in full descriptions of the following projects may refer to the Commission’s web site at www.jusfc.gov, where 

links are available to individual project sites, or may consult with the Commission staff.
