U.S., Japan trades secret notes on nuke arms in 1960

TOKYO, Japan - Japan and the United States exchanged secret minutes on talks about the entry of nuclear weapons into Japan the day a final agreement was reached on the Japan-U.S. Mutual Defense Treaty in 1960, various U.S. diplomatic records show. The photo shows U.S. Ambassador to Japan Douglas MacArthur II and Japanese Foreign Minister Aiichiro Fujiyama shaking hands on Jan. 6, 1960, the day they exchanged the ''classified record of discussion,'' whose actual contents remain secret to this day.
