There is no mention of the fate of the US-Japan Mutual Security Treaty. It should be noted, (as it is on the article specifically on the treaty), that the treaty did pass before Kishi resigned.

[edit] About the his surname's origins

The article says, He was born Nobusuke Satō in Tabuse, Yamaguchi, Yamaguchi Prefecture, but left his family at a young age to move in with the more affluent Kishi family, adopting their family name.

After reading Japanese and Chinese versions, it seemed there is a blank to be filled: Sato is actually the surname of his mother, his father married into the Sato family (This the common practice between powerful Japanese families.). However, by tradition, since he is the second son of the marriage, he was sent back to the Kishis, as an adopted son of the Kishi family, to continue the family line.

I just don't know how to word this, so may someone help? --Samuel Curtis 14:22, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
