               DEVELOPING A POSITIVE TRADING RELATIONSHIP

                                 ______


                         HON. THOMAS C. SAWYER

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 4, 1994

  Mr. SAWYER. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to take this opportunity to 
recognize a business venture that represents the development of a 
constructive and enduring relationship between companies in the United 
States and Japan. The successful business alliance between Morse 
Controls, located in my district in Hudson, OH, and Tokyo Electric 
Power Company of Tokyo, Japan, demonstrates that the global marketplace 
can work to the advantage of all nations and their people.
  Tokyo Electric Power Company and Morse Controls, a division of Imo 
Industries, have successfully maintained a mutually beneficial business 
relationship for more than 8 years.
  Tokyo Electric Power Company is a large enterprise that has played a 
major role in the supply of critical energy services to Japan. It has 
displayed genuine economic cosmopolitanism by reaching out to an 
American company for the provision of needed goods and services.
  Morse Controls, engineer and manufacturer of a unique remote control 
system, has supplied thousands of its products for the Japanese 
electricity distribution systems. In doing so, it has met the highest 
service and quality standards of Tokyo Electric Power Company and 
enhanced the safe and reliable operation of electrical distribution 
systems in Japan.
  The extensive flow of international commerce that this business 
association represents has benefited the Japanese people and provided 
valuable employment opportunities for workers in northeast Ohio.
  At a time when appropriate trade standards between Japan and the 
United States have come under increased scrutiny, I think it is 
important to recognize successful instances of transnational business 
partnerships. The association between Tokyo Electric Power Company and 
Morse Controls is a commendable example of how our two Nations can 
develop a positive trading relationship.
