It was too small for all of us. Some of us had to stand because there were about 25 of us. And he said, "You are now a constituent assembly…And you will write the Japanese constitution. You will write a draft and it will have to be done in a week." Well, I mean, we were stunned of course. But, on the other hand, when you're in the army and you get an order, you just do it. You just go ahead. From PBS, The American Experience, MacArthur. Available at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/macarthur/peopleevents/pandeAMEX102.html
