MEMO FOR RECORD: (SCAPIN - 1107)
24 July 1946
1. CLO Memorandum No. 3239 (EF), dated 3 July 1946, forwards application of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., and its subsidiary, the Iwate Industrial Company, Ltd. (Iwate Sangyo K. K.), the latter having been added on 7 May 1946 to the Schedule of Restricted Concerns established by SCAP Memorandum AG 004 (8 Dec 45) ESS/AC (SCAPIN-403), subject: "Establishment of a Schedule of Restricted Concerns," for removal of the Iwate Industrial Company, Ltd., from the Schedule of Restricted Concerns.
2. At the time the Iwate Industrial Company, Ltd. (then known as Iwate Iron Works. Ltd.), was placed on the Schedule of the Restricted Concerns, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., reported that it owned 16.6% of the stock of Iwate Industrial Company, Ltd. It has now been determined that such information was erroneous and that Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., in fact owns only two (2) percent of the stock of Iwate Industrial Company, Ltd. Such being the case, the latter named Company is not considered a subsidiary as defined by paragraph 2 of inclosure 1 to SCAP Memorandum AG 319.1 (22 Oct 45) ESS/IE (SCAPIN-177), subject: "Reports to be Made by Certain Business Firms"; therefore, the attached Memorandum removes Iwate Industrial Company, Ltd. from the Schedule of Restricted Concerns.
3. This is an administrative matter and no surveillance by the Eighth Army is required.
4. The interests of USAFIK are not concerned.
5. Concurrences: ESS/IN (Mr. J. Z. Reday); ESS/LE (Lt. Col. E. R. Minnich).
