MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC TO ASSEMBLE PC'S IN U.S.
Mitsubishi Electric Corp <MIET.T> plans to
assemble personal computers in the U.S. To counteract the

profits due to the yen's appreciation against the dollar, a
company spokesman told Reuters.
    It will assemble 16-bit MP-286 and 32-bit MP-386 desk-top
computers at its wholly-owned computer and computer-related
equipment sales unit <Mitsubishi Electronics America Inc> in
Torrance, California at a rate if 10,000 a month, he said. This
will include 2,000 TO 3,000 to be sold in the U.S. Under the
Mitsubishi name, he said without giving more details.
