Fall 2010 Newsletter

Delegates Convene in Seattle for Discussions, Debates and...Doughnuts?!

The eleventh annual US-Japan Leadership Program kicked off on Saturday, July 17, 2010 with a delicious welcome dinner at Wild Ginger restaurant in Seattle. Delegates wasted no time with formalities, per George Packard’s instructions, and by the time dessert arrived everyone was deep in conversations, which even melted the ice cream. The week continued on in this fashion, with every single session ending before everyone had gotten a chance to give their opin- ion. Mornings began with a sweet treat from 2009, 2010 Delegate Kenneth Cukier, who saw fit to fuel discussions with a daily box of doughnuts from Top Pot, a lo- cal Seattle favorite. Needless to say, not only knowledge, but pounds were gained by all in at- tendance.

A Thought Provoking Week By Spencer Abbot The 2010 convocation of the U.S.-Japan Leadership program found the USJLP Delegates in Seattle during a week of spectacular weather that belied the Emerald City’s rainy repute. During an engaging overview to USJLP Delegates of the Pacific Northwest’s history, culture and climate, Tim Egan from the New York Times mentioned Mark Twain’s complaint that the coldest winter he’d ever experienced was a summer in San Francisco. USJLP Delegates had no such complaints about the summer Seattle weather during a fascinating 2010 Delegate Spencer Abbot week of wide-ranging conversation on a range of topics related to Japan-U.S. relations, aptly characterized by George Packard at the outset of the conference as representing the world’s most important bilateral relationship. Tim Egan also pointed out “you don’t know who you are if you don’t know where you are.” 2010 USJLP Delegates had the chance to follow Egan’s sage advice for geographic introspection, experiencing the unique character of the Pacific Northwest by rooting for Ichiro at a Seattle Mariners baseball game, watching a particularly spectacular sunset over the Olympic Mountains on a perfect-evening cruise on Lake Washington, touring the brand-new 787 assembly line in the world’s largest building at Boeing, and sampling some of Seattle’s exceptional Japanese-inspired cuisine. Seattle’s Fairmont Hotel provided an excellent venue for discussion of a broad range of issues, to include presentations by USJLP Delegates on the financial crisis, U.S. - Japan security cooperation, nuclear non-proliferation, the rise of China, the situation in Afghanistan, media, law, and medical issues, and finally economic and social trends more broadly. A conference theme of sorts emerged from a memorable tongue-in-cheek suggestion by one USJLP Delegate for a potential multilateral “John Lennon” policy toward North Korea—”Let It Be.” The extraordinary depth and diversity of the Delegate group became quickly apparent over the course of these thought-provoking policy discussions. Through post-plenary session discussion groups, Delegates had the chance to explore issues in greater depth, engaging in substantive debates that often continued through the evening dinners, and on to the entertaining “nijikais”(or, second parties) thereafter. At several of the dinners, USJLP Delegates had a chance to demonstrate the broad range of backgrounds of this year’s group, as several of the participants talked about “The extraordinary depth and their own stories and the paths that had lead them to diversity of the Delegate group participate in USJLP. These gripping personal accounts became quickly apparent over included an Air Force pilot who turned down an offer from the course of these thought- the Denver Broncos to serve his country as a military officer provoking policy discussions” (Rodney Lewis, 10), a then-businesswoman whose harrowing escape from the burning World Trade Center galvanized a commitment to public service (Lolita Jackson, 10), a business journalist inclined as a modern-day Don Quixote (Hajime Matsuura, 10), a US-based Japanese citizen who bridges those two cultures to support avant-garde fine art that does the same (Yayoi Shionoiri, 10), and a “lonesome reporter” who followed his own call to service that took him from eight years as a journalist in China to the forbidding steppes of Central Asia and service as a U.S. Marine in Afghanistan (Matt Pottinger, 10). In a fascinating overview of global financial and economic trends, USJF Chairman Tom Johnson noted that for a breakout to occur from the economic malaise which now embroils both the U.S. and Japanese economies, demand must increase to stimulate corporate investment. USJLP Delegates swiftly responded by initiating their own “doughnut stimulus” program, though it remains to be seen whether

2 Seattle 2010 - In Review

contagion effects of the demand increase at Top Pot Doughnuts over the course of USJLP 2010 will be felt by the broader global economic system. During the concluding day of USJLP, true to George Packard’s request that participants eschew formality to encourage teamwork and foster close ties, the USJLP Delegates put considerations of chewing gum-etiquette and proper banquet attire aside, all in pursuit of the prized “Packard Cup.” At a closing banquet address James Bradley, author of “Flags of Our Fathers” and “Flyboys,” followed up a remarkable vocal performance by Delegate Lolita Jackson (10) with a very persuasive argument for greater emphasis within the U.S. on our relationship with Japan, and on Asian issues more broadly. The juxtaposition between Bradley’s discussion of the heroism and tragedy on both sides at Iwo Jima during World War II, with the engaging performance of a courageous 9/11 survivor and USJLP Delegate, highlighted the fact that while the relationship between Japan and the United States has fundamentally changed over the past half century, close collaboration between our two countries will continue to be critical as we jointly confront the challenges of this dawning century. On that basis, I offer profound thanks on behalf of all of this year’s participants to Tom Johnson, George Packard, Takeo Takuma, Aya Mizushima, and Elizabeth Gordon for making USJLP such a superb program that has done so much already to contribute to this spirit of U.S.-Japanese cooperation.

The Beginning of a Journey By Yayoi Shionoiri It was an extended courtship, a long and slow recruitment that led me to Seattle and to USJLP. Elizabeth – a dear friend and an academic colleague – strategically peppered her conversations over the course of the year with comments about the activities at “the event,” the wonderful Delegates and Fellows of “the program,” and the friendships and bonds that develop from participating in “the weeklong conference.” After repeated e-mails with links to the foundation website, dinner dates to discuss the benefits, and foundation pamphlets listing the application requirements, she convinced me to apply. But even after submitting my application, I remained hesitant about my expectations for acceptance, and then, participation. USJLP has created a program that is intimidating in 2010 Delegates Yayoi Shionoiri its success. When I received my face book, listing the attendees (left), Nobumasa Akiyama and for this year’s conference, I immediately felt out of place John Blake among these distinguished professionals. With delegates serving at the pinnacle of their respected fields, I was just beginning my career as an art lawyer. Working in arts and culture, how would I be able to discuss my work with those whose careers put them at the forefront of their high-profile fields – re-distributing wealth for the common good or serving in war-torn nations? Despite my fears of “forced mingling” with disinterested executives, Elizabeth was right to put my fears to rest. We came together through our devotion for the program and our passion for cultural exchange. The week in Seattle was a reminder that we, in our respective careers, can bridge gaps – not only cultural and linguistic, but also across fields of practice. I am better for having been a Delegate; I hope I was able to add to the experience for my new friends. Having taken the first step to communicate across the differences that separate Japan and the United States, we are fortunate to have the technology to stay connected across space and time as we take the next steps as USJLP Delegates/Fellows. I look forward to the long journey that lies ahead. 3 Seattle 2010 - In Pictures

5 Seattle 2010 - In Review

A Life Changing Event By Hiroaki Kuwajima (09, 10) It was an amazing conference. As a second year Delegate, I felt somewhat relaxed on the way to Seattle, especially as I had met two of the other Delegates, Brent Sadler (07, 10) and Spencer Abbot (10), in Washington DC before the conference. As I arrived at the elegant Fairmont Olympic hotel and received a warm welcome from Elizabeth and Aya, my heart beat fast for the upcoming conference. What does it mean to be a part of the USJLP conference? It might mean something different for each Delegate. Maybe it is an Hiroaki Kuwajima (09, 10, opportunity for reflection, networking, learning, or drinking (?!). For right) with 2010 Delegate me joining USJLP was truly a life-changing moment. It gave me a Kazuo Tase broader perspective regarding global changes, taught me how leaders from leading countries are looking differently at global issues, and made me rethink how I should view my life in the past and live my life in the future. As I was heading for Wild Ginger restaurant on the first night, I talked with Koichi Sughimoto (10) about the reason we wanted to join USJLP. I remembered what I wrote in my application: to learn about the diverse opinions in the United States regarding issues which both countries are facing, such as the financial crisis, global war on terror, or global warming, and to tell the U.S. Delegates the Japanese position on these issues and how we are trying to address them. During the sessions, I couldn’t help but feel how fast the world had changed. Last time I joined USJLP (the 2009 conference), I made a presentation about how Japan approached so-called “too big to fail” problems during a session about lessons learned from the bailout of GM and Chrysler. This was almost half a year since the Obama “What is USJLP administration started and was also right before the historical regime change after all? I would in Japan. There was little concern about the European crisis, and the Futemma base issue was not on the table at that time. There was still a bit of say that it is just a hope about “change” in both countries. From the discussion this year, starting point.” unfortunately the word “change” meant something different from what we had expected. We found that both the U.S. and Japan are still facing challenges in recovering from the global recession, facing the rise of China and dealing with uncertainties in the Middle East such as the situations in Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan. Based on the discussion this year, I feel these global challenges still lie ahead of us and both the US and Japan have to tackle these issues. But still, I feel certain about the future of both countries. Though our background is so different, there is an enormous amount of will and ideas about how we might approach these difficult issues and cooperate together. Through the discussion this year, I felt most of the Delegates shared the same concerns about these global issues and both of us feel a strategic interest to secure global commons around the world. In the days ahead USJLPers will have greater and greater influence in decision making in each field and there will be a time to meet and talk again about how we can approach these issues. Without the chance to exchange opinions in USJLP, the outcome might be meaningfully different. I certainly believe that there will be lots of moments when USJLPers will cooperate together in the future again, both in the U.S. and Japan, behaving like a family to address global and national issues. What’s the USJLP after all? I would say that it is just a starting point. As I become more involved in discussions with other Delegates, whether it be in Tokyo, Seattle or Washington DC, I realize how deep a perspective each Delegate has and how outstanding they all are. For myself, after finishing my three year graduate study in Boston, I joined a Japanese consulting firm in September that engages in both public policy making for the Japanese government and also applying those policies to strategy consulting for

6 Seattle 2010 - In Review multinational Japanese companies. I will have a chance to visit the U.S. and other countries for research, and I am really looking forward to catching up with everyone around the world! Finally I have to say thank you to all the Delegates and especially to George, Takuma-san, Elizabeth and Aya-san for having such an outstanding conference. Every time I meet USJLPers I learn something new and stretch myself. Thank you again for everyone who gave me suggestions for life and I will promise I will do “Okaeshi” for you. Keep in touch and deep thanks to everyone!

An Inspiring Experience By Annalisa Barrett (10) What an incredible experience the USJLP conference was! In trying to describe the week, I have told people: “it was like living in CNN – and you could ask questions.” With so many experts from various fields, I felt as though I learned more in that one week than I did in a year of university studies. Even more important than the educational aspect of the conference, however, are the friendships created. There are so many wonderful memories from the conference; it is difficult to choose a few to share. One of my favorite activities was the informal Japanese lessons offered a few times throughout the week. It Annalisa Barrett (10, right) was great to have the opportunity to practice my limited Japanese and with her son, Connor, and Kiyori ask endless questions about grammar and sentence structure, with Ueno (10) friends and fellow USJLP delegates as very patient teachers. Hopefully I will have made some progress by next year’s conference. Of course, another memorable event was the Packard Cup. After running through the streets of Seattle completing various embarrassing tasks and practicing our “Let It Be” anthem about 100 times, our team “Lonesome Samurai” was proud to be selected as the champions. Our trip to the Boeing factory was awe-inspiring. We had the opportunity to go on a special tour with Elizabeth Lund (05, 06), and see several planes under construction, while learning about the company. I will never look at an airplane the same way again. The conference sessions were full of interesting information and lively dialogues. We had several panels on serious topics, such as Afghanistan, Nuclear Non-Proliferation and China Rising. These panels were not only educational but also eye-opening. The opportunity to discuss the topics in the breakout sessions after the panel presentations with our small groups was an integral part of the conference. I was especially moved by our small group conversation after the Nuclear panel – discussing the impact the nuclear bomb has had on the culture of Japan was a conversation that was so meaningful to me, made possible via the unique structure of the USJLP program. I was also very interested in the panels which discussed the practice of law and medicine in both countries. Not only was it enlightening to hear about the daily life and challenges of doctors and lawyers, it was especially interesting to hear about the differences and similarities in the fields between the two countries. It was also fun to debate the title of the session on lawyers – “Life Without Lawyers: Better or Worse” – during our break out session. One of my very favorite panels was called “The Good Life – Will our Grandkids Live Better than We Do?” In this panel, we heard from people from various careers discuss what happiness means and how we can all strive for a more fulfilling life. It was truly inspiring and demonstrated the value in bringing together people from diverse backgrounds. Learning from leaders in other fields from both countries was an extremely valuable cornerstone of the entire program. I am very thankful to have been given the opportunity to participate in the USJLP program and the 2010 conference in Seattle. I look forward to the next chapter in Japan, and to the lifelong friendships and learning to come from this wonderful program. 7 News & Updates James Williams (00, 01) Receives Burton Award for Legal Achievement

2010 Delegates are Wowed in Seattle by USJF Board Chair- man Tom Johnson and 04, 05 Fellow Chris Howard

During Scott M. Johnson Fellows Weekend in Seattle, USJF Board Chair- man Tom Johnson and 04, 05 Fellow Chris Howard gave wonderful remarks to the group on the closing day of the 201 Conference in Seattle. Tom spoke for a bit about the current state of our economy, and his thoughts on what might finally fix it. Chris followed with an intriguing presentation on the state of education and leadership in America today, as seen from his vantage point as both a parent and the President of Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia. Both Tom and Chris’ presentations sparked a series of questions by many of the Delegates and Fellows, provoking thoughtful discussion and debate. Of course, more hands were raised than there was time for, and discussions continued well into the lunch hour.
