August 12, 1992 TO: Mr. M. Hashimoto - c/o JPA RE: Tripartite Conference Attached is the welcome letter and final agenda for the Tripartite Conference next month. Also, a tentative list of delegates and other attendees is attached. We are surprised that Mr. Endo is not included at this time. Could this be an oversight? In any case, please distribute this package to your colleagues coming from Japan. We still need you to identify which person from your delegation will address the key issue of incineration the morning of September 3rd and who will lead the technical break-out session that afternoon. We are trying to get advance texts from all scheduled speakers, but there are some difficulties due to vacations and short notice. I will forward what I have the week of August 24 and give the balance to Marty Matsuo early on September 2. Please let me know if anyone coming from Japan would like to visit an incinerator or plastics recycling facility on August 31September 2. We will do our best to accommodate you. We ask that you try to avoid press notice of this conference (see attached) to insure we are not disturbed during the meeting. RHB/pmb cc: M. Matsuo, Nippon Zeon M.
