Hirohito attended the privy council deliberations on the edict, was aware of the crackdown being mounted against the Left, and sought to have certain unspecified conditions or reservations added to the rescript before approving it. What they were, and what he found objectionable in Prime Minister Tanaka's reporting of the matter to him, is not known.
