      abstract = {On May 2, 1979, President Jimmy Carter and Prime Minister  Masayoshi Ohira met in Washington, D.C. and agreed to  establish the Japan-U.S. Economic Relations  Group--informally known as the "Wise Men." This small group  of distinguished persons drawn from private life would  submit recommendations to Carter and Ohira for maintaining  a healthy bilateral economic relationship between the  United States and Japan. Among the issues considered were  the role of economic issues in the overall  "political-security-cultural relationship," especially  Japan's emerging position as a world power; Japan's future  comprehensive economic security needs; and its involvement  in foreign assistance programs. The Group actively  solicited the views of the American public (Congress,  business, labor, agriculture, public interest groups) to  provide an additional forum for those who wished to be  heard. The Group also drew upon research that was currently  under way in the two countries and sponsored a modest  program of separate independent research.},
