Memorandum by the Acting Associate Chief of the Division of Japanese and Korean Economic Affairs (Hodge) to Mr. Joseph A. Frank, of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of State for Occupied Areas

[Washington,] December 17, 1946.

Pursuant to our conversation today, attached are copies of FEC–084/1 and FEC–084/3.57 The former (FEC–084/1) is basically the U.S. position on Industrial Disarmament of Japan (originally SWNCC 302) as amended in FEC negotiations to date, which amendments have been agreed to by the U.S. after clearance with A–H and SWNCC. The latter (FEC–084/3) contains two new Chinese proposed additions to the selected list of “War supporting industries” contained in FEC–084/1, viz., the addition of the heavy mechanical equipment industry, and the addition of the optical and precision instruments industry.
