Description
Mike Mansfield reflects on his wife Maureen Hayes Mansfield’s life and education. Then he offers his opinion on Japan’s present and future status, the role he thinks that the United States should play, and how the U.S. should approach relations with other Asian nations such as China, North Korea, and South Korea. Mansfield voices his support for these Asian nations to create economic agreements with each other, whether the U.S. is involved or not. He also talks about the places in China that he visited during his service in the Marines. Don Oberdorfer recalls Mansfield's 97th birthday lunch on March 17, 2000, in his ending notes.
