                  JAPANESE INDUSTRIAL POLICY


Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:

     We are pleased to be with you today to discuss our report,

Industrial Policy:  Japan's Flexible Approach (GAO/ID-82-32).

Our work was performed in response to your request to (1) explore

the contribution of macroeconomic policy to industrial growth and

(2) identify those policies which support growing industries and

those which assist declining industries.

     We answered the questions you posed by reviewing Japan's

past and present experiences with industrial policy.  We reviewed

the changing goals and tools of industrial policy and assessed

how and why they have changed over the postwar period.  In

addition, we discussed how macroeconomic monetary and fiscal

policies have contributed to achieving the goals of industrial

policy.
