However, the Japanese are allowed to assemble as many sets as they wish in the U.S.-so long as American workers provide 40% of the labor required to turn them into finished products. Three big TV makers-Sony, Sanyo and Matsushita-already own U.S. plants. Two others, Toshiba and Mitsubishi, are on the verge of opening production facilities in the U.S., which will, of course, create jobs for Americans...
...June of 1977. University Professor Edwin O. Reischauer and John K. Fairbank '29, Higginson Professor of History, were instrumental in tapping much of the $5.5 million that has come from East Asia so far. Not only are many of the largest Japanese firms such as Nissan, Toyota and Mitsubishi providing significant amounts but individual East Asian industrialists are also supplying funds.

He fears that the government may be asked for low-interest loans by other polluters-Mitsubishi Oil Co., for example, which was responsible for a serious oil spill at the Mizushima industrial complex (TIME...
