The purpose of this study is to clarify the process of resolving the issue of jurisdiction in “athletic” from discussions of the Administrative Investigative Committee and the Administrative System Council established for examining this issue. The study focuses on the basic direction of administration and financial adjustment in the party cabinet era. Further, the study aims to clarify what meaning has been given to“ athletic” through these discussions. The first Kato Cabinet advanced the selection of the Chief of Cabinet Legislation Bureau in anticipation of the administrative and public finance and further repeated the instructions according to which each ministry and agency are required to follow the leadership of the party government. In the background was the recognition that the organizational system of the administration was complicated and fragmented. Due to this, the first and second Kato Cabinet claimed that the general public were being inconvenienced. The Administrative Investigation Committee was established in anticipation of the fact that these administrative problems had to be solved. The Administrative Investigation Committee was suitably composed to incorporate the Party Cabinet's intention with respect to the human and organizational aspects. The Chief of Cabinet Legislation Bureau was in a position enabling him to demonstrate initiative at the Administrative Investigation Committee. The decision of the Chief of Cabinet Legislation Bureau coincided with the claim of the first and second Cabinet to emphasize the convenience of the private sector. From these perspectives, it is possible to understand the deliberations on the jurisdiction of athletic in the Administrative Investigation Committee. This issue was about whether it was the Ministry of Education or the Ministry of Home Affairs was responsible for the athletic outside the school. Opinion of the people related to athletic directed giving the Ministry of Education the jurisdiction of the athletic. In addition, the Ministry of Education insisted on the educational significance of athletic, and the Ministry of Home Affairs insisted on the health significance of athletic. The proposals submitted by the legislative bureau and the remarks of the Chief of Cabinet Legislation Bureau followed opinion of the people related to athletic. The Administrative System Council set up by the Tanaka Cabinet succeeded the deliberation of the Administrative Investigation Committee. The Administrative System Council decided jurisdiction of “athletic” in the Ministry of Education. The following is a summarization of the above. The Administrative Investigation Committee and the Administrative System Council are a reflection of the intentions of the party cabinet, and the jurisdiction of athletic are determined in accordance with these intentions. In this process, athletic was given educational significance.
