Abstract

The Forestry Agency tried to acquire self-sponsored funds in 1985, because the expenditure for public works had been reduced. It is a water resources conservation tax. The technocrats of the Forestry Agency acted autonomous though this tax was not founded. Both the professional network and the iron triangle of the technocrats of the Forestry Agency have been understood a little there. The professional network was made by the technocrats who got a position from the Forestry Agency to the related groups. The network is made between the Forestry Agency and the related group that made Japan Forestry Association a leader, and has extended even the field organization of each group. The iron triangle was composed of the technocrat of the Forestry Agency, meetings of the LDP, and the related group. And, the professional network was one of constituent members of the iron triangle. The technocrats of the Forestry Agency in budgetary process are not specialists of a special area, but bureaucrats who control the policy decision process by using the professional network and the iron triangle.
