In his three-hour meeting with President Carter, Ohira pledged to push to narrow the trade gap between the two nations, noting that some improvement has already been made. Japan's trade surplus in the first three months of this year totaled $2.7 billion, vs. $6.7 billion in the same period last year. Generally Carter and Ohira hit it off fairly well. Honoring Ohira...
