Dear Fellow Historians of Economic Thought,

As you know, the northeastern part of Japan was severly hit by one of 
the greatest earthquakes and tsunami on March 11, and we are sruggling 
to rescue those who are affected, rebuild the community, society and 
economy, and contain the nuclear contaminations.

We have been planning to hold the annual meeting of the JSHET from May 
21-22 at Fukushima University, Fukushima, but considering the current 
uncertainties and the proximity of the venue to the affected area, we 
have decided to postpone this year's annual meeting. We aplogize for 
any inconveniece which this decision might cause.

However, we are also determined to hold this year's annual meeting, 
possibly sometime in the latter half of the year. The details are not 
yet determined, but they will be notified in due course.

Thank you for your coorperation and understanding.

with best wishes,

On behalf of
President Masaharu Hattori
President-elect Keiko Kurita

Masazumi Wakatabe, Chair of the Committee for Communication and 
Planning
JSHET
