The Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) presents his compliments to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and has the honor to notify him of the receipt, on March 3, 1988, of a written communication, dated March 1, 1988, from the Government of Japan informing the Director General of WIPO that the address of the Fermentation Research Institute (FRI), which has the status of an international depositary authority under the Budapest Treaty on the International Recognition of the Deposit of Microorganisms for the Purposes of Patent Procedure, done at Budapest on April 28, 1977, as amended on September 26, 1980 (see Budapest Notification No. 15 of March 31, 1981), is as follows: 1-3, Higashi 1-chome, Tsukuba-shi, Ibaraki-ken 305 Japan. The only change in the address is due solely to the creation of a new city ("Tsukuba-shi") encompassing the area of the former city ("Yatabe-machi") within which the said international depositary authority is located.
