Can I say "Mr. Sasaki requested that Ms. Kato attended the meeting next Wednesday." as the same meaning as "Mr. Sasaki requested that Ms. Kato attend the meaning next Wednesday."
Can I say "Mr. Sasaki requested that Ms. Kato attended the meeting next Wednesday." as the same meaning as "Mr. Sasaki requested that Ms. Kato attend the meaning next Wednesday."
The point I want to make sure is whether the tense of the verb in that-clause (=attended) can correspond to the main clause (=requested) or not.
Also, my understanding is that corresponding of the tenses of main clause and that-clause is used largely in British English. I would like to know if the usage is used in American English as well.
Thank you for caring this question in advance!

Hmmmm....I think you can say, “Mr. Sasaki requested that Ms. Kato *would* attend the meeting, however, she didn’t attend it.”
Mr. Sasaki’s request happened in the past, but the meeting, at the time of his request was in the future. Now that we’re looking back, we know that Ms. Kato did not attend. (Yes, I’m confused, too. I hope this is helpful just the same.)

The first sentence is incorrect, but the second sentence is correct. Mr. Sasaki’s request was made in the past, but the meeting is in the future.
