May 23 - Departed Osaka, Japan at 1:25 p.m. (Japan time) via Tokyo for Chicago, arriving 3:00 p.m. (CST). Departed Chicago via Richmond, arriving Wilmington 7:15 p.m. Summary: Both American and Japanese officials indicated that they were impressed that a community would send delegates to Japan. They have been visited,by many state and industrial groups seeking industry investment in the U.S., but not by groups such as ours. We received a cordial welcome from all we visited. A point made several times was that a follow-up visit a year from now would result in an even better relationship between our community and Japanese industry. We.anticipate visits to the Wilmington area by representatives of at least three Japanese companies during the next three months. We believe the visit was most worthwhile and that we made progress in selling the Wilmington area for possible investment by Japanese industries. We concentrated on industries which would be considered clean, non-controversial, non-polluting, and labor intensive. Such industries would contribute to the tax ~~.b~se of the Wilmington/New.H~nover County area, and would bring . needed employment opportunltles.
