Nearly all these conference reports were written to highlight expertise on Asian security and economics for the 2000 presidential candidates of the United States. Many of the reports have appeared as books or monographs with one or more "authors" or "editors. " Where possible we have listed the meeting or study group participants. Dr. Edward Lincoln, a specialist on the Japanese economy at The Brookings Institution appears as the most common participant in among the study groups. Dr. Michael Green, a Japan security specialist who is now with the National Security Council, was the most common organizer.
