Extract

The Far Eastern Commission on June 9 approved a policy decision permitting the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, upon receipt of the appropriate invitation, to appoint members of his staff as observers at intergovernmental conferences where attendance would be of interest to the occupation. Japanese technical personnel might accompany any SCAP staff when it was deemed necessary and was acceptable to the country which was acting as host to the conference. On March 13 the commission had rejected by a vote of 8 to 1 with 2 abstentions a motion to censure the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (MacArthur) for sending a Japanese to attend the Geneva radio frequency conference of the International Telecommunications Union as technical adviser to General Mac Arthur's observer at the meetings.
