Dear Mr. Rutherford 
 
     I am a Steerig Committee member of  
  The Society for the History of Economic Thought, Japan. 
     Its present president(1995-1996) is  
  Prof. Koji NAKAMURA (Kumamoto Gakuen University). 
   
   The person in charge of contact with oversea associations is 
  Prof. Takashi NEGISHI (Aoyama Gakuin University) and me. 
   
     Please send me any informations or inquiries by E-mail or 
  Fax. I'll send them forward to Prof. Nakamura and Prof. Negishi. 
 
     The program of the annual meeting of our Society is regularly 
  on the HET-Newsletter. 
     I began watching HESLIST since May to catch useful informations 
  for our Society. Now, I am thinking whether we can establish a similar 
  network of historians of HET in Japan. In this case using Japanese 
  letters.  
 
     By the way, you know already that Germans have Dogmenhistorisher 
 Ausschuss within the Gesellschaft fuer Wirtschafts- und Sozial- 
 wissenschaften (Verein fuer Sozialpolitik), don't you? 
 
                                Sincerely  
                                       Kiichiro YAGI
