By late-2013, one hundred Mansfield Fellows, representing twenty-two U.S. agencies and the U.S. Congress, will have completed the program. These Fellows return to federal service prepared to use the expertise and networks gained during their Fellowships to further U.S.-Japan relations. In doing so, they are helping fulfill not only the mission of the Fellowship Program, but also the vision of the man this unique exchange was named after—Mike Mansfield. Mike Mansfield, who served as U.S. ambassador to Japan from 1977 to 1989, liked to call the U.S.-Japan relationship “the most important bilateral relationship in the world, bar none.” I like to call the Mike Mansfield Fellowship Program “the most unique fellowship in the world, bar none.” The Mike Mansfield Fellowship is unique because it gives U.S. federal government employees in the program opportunities to work side-by-side with their counterparts in Japan’s ministries and agencies, the National Diet, and non-governmental organizations. This openness by the Japanese government is unprecedented and unparalleled—no other country provides this level of access to its government to U.S. government officials. And it is critical because Japan remains so important to the United States, especially as the United States begins rebalancing toward Asia. Mike Mansfield noted that he began using the “bar none” phrase “because it combined economic interdependence and security cooperation,” strengths of the U.S.-Japan relationship that are just as relevant today. Japan’s ongoing importance to the United States is reflected in the strength of the security alliance and the bilateral trade relation- ship. In 2011, Japan was the fourth largest U.S. trading partner in goods and one of the largest contributors to U.S. global priorities such as Afghanistan’s reconstruction. 5 The essays in this volume describe many of the ways the Mike Mansfield Fellowship Program has provided Fellows with unique insights into the Japanese government’s policymaking process and opportunities to improve coordination between the United States and Japan. The Fellows who contributed to this volume describe working with their Japanese counterparts to strengthen cooperation in areas ranging from renewable energy to missile defense to international development. There are many more examples that we were not able to capture in this volume, which was initiated to honor the milestone reached by the program and by all Mansfield Fellows that have participated in it. Looking ahead, we see even greater opportunities for the United States and Japan to work together, and an even greater need for U.S. government officials who have a deep understanding of Japan and the importance of the U.S.-Japan relationship. We are confident the Fellowship Program will continue to play an important role in strengthening U.S.-Japan relations in the years ahead. The Mansfield Foundation is grateful to the Toshiba International Foundation and Fast Retailing Co., Ltd. for their generous support of the first phase of this project, to the Sasakawa Peace Foundation and the Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission for funding the translation and publication of this bilingual volume, to the govern- ments of the United States and Japan for their ongoing support for the program, and to the one hundred Fellows who have completed the program and shared their experiences and expertise with all of us who value a strong U.S.-Japan relationship.

The Honorable Yoshimasa Hayashi and Mansfield Foundation Executive Director Gordon Flake meeting with MFP 13 Fellows in 2008. 8 DANIEL BOB Reflections on the Mike Mansfield Fellowship Program Daniel Bob he Mike Mansfield Fellowship Program was created through legislation drafted by Yoshimasa Hayashi and the author in 1991 for U.S. Senator TWilliam V. Roth, Jr., and enacted into law by the U.S. Congress in 1993. A Republican from Delaware, Senator Roth joined the Senate in 1971. He became ranking member of the Governmental Affairs Committee in 1987, chairman of that committee in January 1995 and then chairman of the powerful Finance Committee in September 1995. Senator Roth maintained a longstanding interest in Japan and U.S.-Japan relations beginning with his service in the army in World War II. After enlisting, Roth was sent to New Guinea, where he worked under General Douglas MacArthur in a unit specializing in psychological warfare against the Japanese. At the

The first floor leaders were formally designated in 1920 (Democrats) and 1925 (Republicans). The Senate Republican and Democratic floor leaders are elected by the members of their party in the Senate at the beginning of each Congress. Depending on which party is in power, one serves as majority leader and the other as minority leader. The leaders serve as spokespersons for their parties' positions on issues. The majority leader schedules the daily legislative program and fashions the unanimous consent agreements that govern the time for debate. The majority leader has the right to be called upon first if several senators are seeking recognition by the presiding officer, which enables him to offer motions or amendments before any other senator. Majority and Minority Leaders Elected at the beginning of each Congress by members of their respective party conferences to represent them on the Senate floor, the majority and minority leaders serve as spokesmen for their parties' positions on the issues. The majority leader has also come to speak for the Senate as an institution. Working with the committee chairs and ranking members, the majority leader schedules business on the floor by calling bills from the calendar and keeps members of his party advised about the daily legislative program.

  • The Fukushima Nuclear Accident and Crisis Management
    e Fukushima Nuclearand Crisis Accident Management e Fukushima The Fukushima Nuclear Accident and Crisis Management — Lessons for Japan-U.S. Alliance Cooperation — — Lessons for Japan-U.S. Alliance Cooperation — — Lessons for Japan-U.S. September, 2012 e Sasakawa Peace Foundation Foreword This report is the culmination of a research project titled ”Assessment: Japan-US Response to the Fukushima Crisis,” which the Sasakawa Peace Foundation launched in July 2011. The accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant that resulted from the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011, involved the dispersion and spread of radioactive materials, and thus from both the political and economic perspectives, the accident became not only an issue for Japan itself but also an issue requiring international crisis management. Because nuclear plants can become the target of nuclear terrorism, problems related to such facilities are directly connected to security issues. However, the policymaking of the Japanese government and Japan-US coordination in response to the Fukushima crisis was not implemented smoothly. This research project was premised upon the belief that it is extremely important for the future of the Japan-US relationship to draw lessons from the recent crisis and use that to deepen bilateral cooperation. The objective of this project was thus to review and analyze the lessons that can be drawn from US and Japanese responses to the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, and on the basis of these assessments, to contribute to enhancing the Japan-US alliance’s nuclear crisis management capabilities, including its ability to respond to nuclear terrorism.

  • Alberta Strengthens Economic and Cultural Ties in Asia Minister Evans to Further Korea and Japan Relations
    November 1, 2010 Alberta strengthens economic and cultural ties in Asia Minister Evans to further Korea and Japan relations Edmonton... International and Intergovernmental Relations Minister Iris Evans will promote Alberta’s economic, intergovernmental and cultural relationships in key Asian markets November 4-15. “Korea and Japan are strong trading partners with Alberta, and Asian investment has helped drive Alberta’s oil sands development,” said Minister Evans. “This mission is an important opportunity to provide government and industry with an update on Alberta’s clean energy story.” While in Korea, Minister Evans will sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Knowledge Economy, a move that will further encourage economic cooperation in the energy sector. Other highlights of the mission include meetings with top ranking government officials in both Korea and Japan’s foreign affairs and trade ministries. Minister Evans will also participate in the Hokkaido Regional Leaders Forum in Japan, and meet with the Canadian Ambassadors to both Korea and Japan. Speaking engagements include a guest lecture at Meiji University in Tokyo and a presentation to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Korea. This mission builds on the work of earlier New West Partnership (NWP) missions by Premier Ed Stelmach, as well as agriculture ministers, who promoted trade and commerce opportunities between Western Canada and Asia. Minister Evans will continue to emphasize the importance of the NWP and hold follow-up meetings with Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Minister Evans will also take part in two special anniversaries while in Japan.
