 in United States Embassies in Tokyo and

 Secretary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall. 

 They will begin their two-year tours of duty 

 about June 1. 



Clinton E. Atkinson takes over fromArnie 

 J. Suomela in Tokyo, and Arthur M. Sand-

 pointed Foreign Service Reserve Officers of 

 the State Department. 



A fishery attache' gathers information to 

 keep the United States Government and the 

 fishing industry abreast of fishing operations, 

 advances in technology and processing, and 

 market conditions in foreign nations. He

 can fishery products and to locate supplies 

 to meet the demands of the American public. 

 He interprets the United States position to 

 foreign nations and works to resolve inter- 

 national fishing problems. 



Atkinson has been a scientist with Interi- 

 or's Bureau of Commercial Fisheries for 28 

 years, specializing in fisheries research, 

 administration, and international fisheries 

 commissions. He has made many trips to 

 Japan, has a working knowledge of the Ian-

 ing's importance 

 in the Japanese

 nited States and 

 Japanese fishing 

 industries have 

 many close ties 

 through trade and 

 interests.
