It is interesting that we were able to hold out and indeed to delay the whole of the information technology agreement, which was fundamentally in our interest, unless and until we reached a point when the exclusive features of the agreement between Japan and the United States with regard to semi-conductors were brought to an end and we were brought into the semi-conductor council as full partners.
Det er interessant, at vi kunne holde stand og endda forhale hele aftalen om informationsteknologi, hvilket grundlæggende var til vores fordel, medmindre og indtil vi nåede et punkt, hvor eksklusivitetsforholdene i aftalen mellem Japan og USA om halvledere blev ophævet, og vi blev fuldgyldige partnere i halvlederrådet.
