.... automobiles as its wedge to open the Japanese market was surely a dangerous one. In addition, the utilization of unilateral actions by the U.S. is clearly a violation of international trade law. Not only is this decision a resemblance of managed trade but a policy which will weaken the leadership position of the U.S. in the world economy as well. The U.S. needs to do what the Japanese did when they penetrated the American market; hard market research and heavy investment.

Sales of system platforms, embedded control products, and networking and communications products also grew. Cost of sales increased by 40% from 1994 to 1995 and by 71% from 1993 to 1994.
