This research project produced the following three articles.

"Bonner Fellers and U.S.-Japan Relations, June 1945-June 1946." Journal of American and Canadian Studies, No.20(2002):57-93.
These articles have clarified the roles played and contributions made by Brigadier General Bonner Fellers in U.S.-Japan Relations and in his relations with Herbert C.Hoover from World War II to the immediate post-World War II years.
Towards the end of my second year in this research project I learned that a significant new addition had been made to the Fellers Papers at the Hoover Institution at Stan ford University. During the summer of 2004 I compiled a finding aid for the new addition made to this collection. I will need to collect and analyze documents based on this finding aid and need to combine them with other documents in order to write about Fellers's roles and contributions within the Republican Party's right wing from the 1940s to 1964 and about his role in U.S.-Japan relations after the late 1940s.
