In order to ensure that all pertinent details and data for this official report, as stipulated in the Olymjnc Charter, would be carefully preserved, this Organizing Committee set up a sub-committee for this purpose in April 1962 some two years before the Games took place. This sub-committee included a representation from each division of the Secretariat and with the Public Relations Division (later the Press and Public In­ formation Division) outlying the overall plan of collecting and collating the many necessary facts and details as they occurred. This sub-committee was early in 1964 reorganized to a “Report Editing Sub-Committee” to prepare for the final compilation in a form for presentation in a comprehensive report. In the collecting of overall details of the Games preparations, cooperation was required from agencies and organizations other than the actual Organizing Committee itself and in this, we are most grateful for the assistance willingly extended by the various agencies of the National Government, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and the other Prefectural and City authorities involved with certain aspects or sports facilities used for the Games.
