The Japanese Diet and the U.S. Congress have in common many of the characteristics of democratic institutions, similarities that can be seen in the way the two legislative bodies are constituted, in what they do, and in how they do it. At the same time, there are disparities that stem from each nations unique cultural background and political experiences. Both the similarities and the differences are treated in this unique study. The authors, well-known japanese and U.S. scholars, illuminate significant factors that not only underlie the differing roles of the Diet and the Congress in the two governments and the style of each government, but also help shape the nature of the interaction between japan and the U.S.

Although much has been written about japan and the United States and the policies and practices of their governments, one aspect of the relationship between the two nations has not been systematically explored. Until recently, there has been little awareness in the one country of the nature and role of the legislative body in the other. Yet it is increasingly apparent that the Diet and the Congress, each in its own way, are critical elements in determining the overall manner in which Japan and the United States interact with each other.
This gap in mutual awareness was perceived by the U.S. Association of Former Members of Congress and the Japan Center for International Exchange. Accordingly, with support from the Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission, the East-West Center in Honolulu, and other groups, the two organizations agreed to undertake a comparative study of the Japanese Diet and U.S. Congress. The study was designed by Francis R. Valeo, former secretary of the United States Senate and a consultant to the Former Members of Congress, which also directed the preparation of the U.S. papers. The Japanese part of the study was conducted under the guidance of Tadashi Yamamoto, director of the Japan Center for International Exchange.
Scholars and experts in both countries were commissioned to prepare the set of twelve integrated papers on the legislative systems of the two countries. These papers subsequently formed the basis for three day s (February 12-14, 1981) of discussion at a binational conference at the East-West Center in Honolulu. Participants included the scholar-writers of the conference papers, sitting and former members of the Diet and the Congress, members of the staff of the East-West Center, and a number of other interested persons and observers.
The results of this joint Japanese-U.S. effort are reflected in this volume, The book includes the twelve conference papers and a brief commentary. A similar study is also being published in Japanese. The Japan Center for International Exchange and the Association of Former Members of Congress assume responsibility for offering these papers as a contribution to U.S.-Japanese understanding. Credit for substance, however, is attributable entirely to the authors. We wish to thank the members of the Advisory Board for their comments and suggestions. The special assistance of Charles E. Morris on, who served as editor for the Japanese papers, is also noted. Associated with the Japan Center and the East-West Center, Mr. Morrison also provided liaison and other assistance in making arrangements for the conference. Thanks go to Kazuo Ogura of the Japanese Foreign Ministry and the Johnson Foundation Conference Center, "Wingspread," at Racine, Wisconsin, for their contributions to the convening of a preliminary meeting of former members of Congress and of the Diet.
