These documents give us a record, from both the GHQ and Japanese sides' (Joji Matsumoto's) point of view, regarding the presentation of the GHQ Draft to the Japanese government during their meeting on February 13, 1946. There are no major differences between the two records of the discussions, but the record by the GHQ gives us reason to believe that the Japanese government representatives, who were expecting a response to the "Matsumoto Draft," were absolutely shocked when presented with the completely unexpected GHQ Draft and the rejection of the "Matsumoto Draft."
