4) "Nuclear submarine was cruising underwater" according to US
Navy's account when the collision occurred
ASAHI (Page 31) (Full)
January 10, 2007
A US nuclear-powered submarine collided with the Japanese
supertanker, the Mogamigawa, in the southern part of the Strait of
Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. On this accident, the US Navy yesterday
revealed that the nuclear submarine hit the tanker when cruising
underwater. When a submarine navigates underwater, it is allegedly
obligated to avoid any collision. Upon the return home of the
tanker's crew, the Japan Coast Guard (JCG) will question them under
domestic law and investigate how the collision occurred.
According to Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd., when the collision
occurred, two crewmembers were on lookout for sea and the radar, but
reportedly they did not recognize any figure or lights of the
submarine beforehand.
Meanwhile the US Navy's 5th Fleet announced that an accident
occurred while the US submarine the Newport News "was navigating
underwater" in the Strait of Hormuz. The Navy is collecting data
showing the details of damage to the submarine, but it says there
are no reports of any damage to the engine (nuclear reactor) or any
radiation leakage. The bow of the submarine seems to have struck the
left rear side of the tanker.
According to maritime experts, the UN Conference on the Law of the
Sea allows a submarine to submerge when it navigates on the high
seas. But when the submarine submerges, ships can't find out the
location of the submarine, so the submarine is obligated to avoid
any collision.
The Mogamigawa is a Japanese vessel, so Japanese law will be applied
to the collision case this time. The JCG will question the captain
of the ship and other crewmembers under the Rule of Sea and other
laws.
5) With shift to ministry status, Defense Ministry aims to become a
policy-planning office; May conflict with Foreign Ministry over
relations with US
MAINICHI (Page 2) (Excerpts)

TOKYO 00000061 004 OF 011
SUBJECT: JAPANESE MORNING PRESS HIGHLIGHTS 01//07
The Defense Agency (JDA) yesterday was formally upgraded to a
ministry as the 11th one in the government. Following this upgrade,
the Ministry of Defense (MOD) aims to depart from the previous
status of the management office over the Self-Defense Forces (SDF)
to become a policy-planning office. The ministry aims to amend the
Defense Ministry Establishment Law in the upcoming ordinary session
of the Diet in order to implement the reorganization of the internal
offices in September. But a number of tasks remain to be resolved.
The focus of attention in the days ahead is likely to be on what to
do about the role-sharing with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
(MOFA), with which the JDA had previously worked together to chart a
security policy, and with the Japanese version of the national
security council (NSC) planned to be established in the Prime
Minister's Official Residence (Kantei).
"The Ministry of Defense needs to have a strategic viewpoint when
considering the future of the state and also needs to strengthen the
policy-planning functions so that the ministry can meet not only our
country's security but also the international community's
expectations." Defense Minister Fumio Kyuma thus stressed the need
to beef up the policy-planning capability expected from the ministry
at the ceremony commemorating the promotion of the JDA to a ministry
yesterday.
In the process of the reorganization, the MOD will establish a "US
force realignment liaison post" in the Minister's Secretariat, which
will be responsible for the realignment of USFJ. It will also
establish a "Japan-US defense cooperation division" and an
"international policy division" in the Defense Policy Bureau in
order to enhance relations with national defense officials of other
countries.
On the other hand, the MOD's relations with MOFA are somewhat
delicate. The JDA, which had increased its influence, leveraged by
such elements as overseas dispatches of the SDF, has occasionally
taken the lead in the talks with the US over the realignment of the
US forces in Japan, and even a senior MOFA official noted, "The JDA
has outsmarted MOFA." At the time of North Korea's nuclear tests in
last October, a conflict between the JDA and MOFA over the concept
of situations in areas surrounding Japan (or contingencies around
Japan) surfaced. Both ministries are likely to engage in a tug of
war in the coming months.
6) Mounting challenges awaits Defense Agency, including US force
realignment, promotion of MD system; Ministry to transform itself
into policymaking body speedily
YOMIURI (Page 2) (Abridged slightly)
January 10, 2007
The Defense Agency was upgraded to the Defense Ministry yesterday.
With the Self-Defense Force's international peacekeeping activities
also upgraded to primary duties, the ministry is now being pressed
to transform itself into a true policymaking government body. With
many policy challenges lying ahead, such as the realignment of US
forces in Japan and the promotion of a missile defense system, the
newly established Defense Ministry must now overcome its structural
weakness in human resources compared to other ministries.
Uniqueness
TOKYO 00000061 005 OF 011
SUBJECT: JAPANESE MORNING PRESS HIGHLIGHTS 01//07
"We must change ourselves in order to become a true policymaking
body. The ministry's policymaking functions must be strengthened not
only for the security of Japan but also in order to fully meet the
expectations of the international community."
In a speech at the ceremony yesterday, Defense Minister Fumio Kyuma
underscored the need to strengthen the ministry's policymaking
functions by repeatedly using the expression "policymaking
ministry." The ministry is tasked with proceeding with such
challenges as US force realignment, including the planned relocation
of Futenma Air Station in Okinawa, improving the MD system, and
continued reconstruction assistance in Iraq on the one hand, and
planning medium to long-term security polities on the other.
But chances are that the more the Defense Ministry tries to exhibit
its uniqueness, the more discord will break out with the Foreign
Ministry, which now oversees relations with the US, and with the
Prime Minister's Official Residence (Kantei), which is studying the
option of creating a Japanese-version National Security Council
(NSC) will be pronounced over role-sharing and adjusting views.
In fact, while Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is eager to establish a
permanent law on SDF overseas missions, Kyuma again took a cautious
view yesterday, saying, "We must first determine on what kind of
mission the SDF should be dispatched overseas to accomplish."
Cultivating human resources
A lack of home-grown talented senior officers is also a headache for
the Defense Ministry.
Vice-minister candidates have come from such offices as the Finance
Ministry and the National Police Agency. Of the 28 past vice defense
ministers, only five hailed from the Defense Agency. This can be
explained partially by the fact that the ministry has not hired
those who passed the advanced examination for national civil
servants for its administrative posts for a long time.
Incumbent Vice Defense Minister Takemasa Moriya, who comes from the
Defense Agency, assumed office in August 2003. Now in his fourth
year, Takemasa has been in the post for an unusually long time.
Takemasa's expected retirement from the post this summer reflects
the ministry's shortfall in human resources.
In the wake of a series of improprieties involving SDF personnel,
including information leaks, Moriya issued under the date of Jan. 9
a notice seeking an improved education system, including the strict
observance of regulations by SDF personnel. The Defense Ministry
intends to enhance training programs for defense officials and
officers.
7) Government decides to defer on a plan to submit to the ordinary
Diet session a bill for establishing a permanent law on overseas
troop dispatches out of concern for impact on Upper House election
MAINICHI (Page 2) (Full)

Yu Koyama
The government decided to defer on a plan to submit to the ordinary
Diet session to be convened on Jan. 25 a bill for the establishment
TOKYO 00000061 006 OF 011
SUBJECT: JAPANESE MORNING PRESS HIGHLIGHTS 01//07
of a permanent law stipulating the requirements for overseas
dispatches of Self-Defense Forces (SDF) personnel. With the
promotion yesterday of the Defense Agency to the Ministry of
Defense, the SDF personnel's overseas operations have now become
major duties. Taking advantage of this occasion, the government is
trying to establish a permanent law on overseas dispatches of the
SDF in order to expand their duties, but it has decided to defer the
submission of the bill out of consideration for a possible impact on
the Upper House election slated for July. The government also has
decided to postpone coming up with a conclusion on the study of
adding changes to the interpretation of the Constitution's Article 9
as called for by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe so that the conclusion
will be reflected in the permanent bill on overseas dispatches.
Regarding this permanent bill, the government formed a study team
(composed of some 20 persons) in the Cabinet Secretariat in August
2003, and the team has been preparing legislation to date. At the
New Year's press conference on Jan. 4, the prime minister indicated
he was positive about that legislation, noting, "We need to rebuild
a legal basis for security to meet the needs of the times." But the
New Komeito, the junior coalition partner of the government, is
cautious about such matters as relaxing the rules for the use of
weapons and the expansion of the SDF duties ahead of the Upper House
election. In addition, Defense Minister Fumio Kyuma stated at a
press conference yesterday: "In order to move forward discussions,
we need to sort out the way of the use of weapons and the duties."
8) Kyuma considering making changes to sanjikan system, including
abolishing it and appointing uniformed officers
ASAHI (Page 1) (Excerpts)
January 10, 2007
In the wake of the Defense Agency's upgrade to the Defense Ministry,
Defense Minister Fumio Kyuma announced a policy direction in a press
conference yesterday to review the current director-general
(sanjikan) system of Defense Ministry officials not in uniform
assisting the defense minister to either abolish it altogether or
make fundamental changes to it. The system, introduced from bitter
lessons learned from the military's reckless actions during the war,
is designed to allow the Diet and cabinet to exercise civilian
control and non-uniformed officers to control uniformed personnel. A
review would increase the importance of control of the Self-Defense
Forces by the prime minister and the Diet.
Kyuma said regarding the system: "It has been 50 years since the
system was established. I've been wonder if it should be left as it
is. I think we should consider (changing it)." When he was serving
as defense agency chief 10 years ago, Kyuma also tried to appoint a
uniformed officer as chief of the then education bureau to educate
and train SDF personnel. But his attempt failed due to the Defense
Agency Establishment Law, which stipulated to appoint sanjikan as
bureau chiefs.
9) Defense Ministry inaugurated: Opposition camp criticizes upgrade
as dangerous move
TOKYO SHIMBUN (Page 2) (Full)
January 10, 2007
In response to the inauguration of the Defense Ministry, opposition
parties stepped up criticism of Prime Minister Abe, who is aiming at
TOKYO 00000061 007 OF 011
SUBJECT: JAPANESE MORNING PRESS HIGHLIGHTS 01//07
continuing Self-Defense Forces' activities in Iraq and revising the
interpretation of the Constitution, which bans the exercise of the
right to collective self-defense.
Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ or Minshuto) Secretary General Yukio
Hatoyama during a press conference pointed out, "A set of bills to
upgrade the Self-Defense Agency to a status of ministry stipulated
in a manner like fishing in troubled waters that SDF operations in
Iraq should be made mainstay operations." He also stated, "The Iraq
war itself was mistaken. The Air Self-Defense Force is still
operating in Iraq. I want Japan to quickly become aware of the
mistake." He thus criticized the government for continuing ASDF
operations in Iraq.
Japanese Communist Party head of the Secretariat Tadayoshi Ichida
during a press briefing criticized the upgrade of the Defense Agency
to ministry status as a "very dangerous move that is being promoted
with two wheels of a cart along with the move to change the
interpretation of the Constitution." Social Democratic Party head
Mizuho Fukushima also stressed during a press conference: "The first
step for the SDF to act along with US forces on global battle fields
has been taken. I feel a sense of alarm about that."
10) Okinawa expresses willingness to accept V-shaped Futenma
relocation plan
YOMIURI (Page 2) (Abridged slightly)
January 10, 2007
Okinawa Vice Gov. Zenki Nakazato has conveyed Gov. Hirokazu
Nakaima's wishes to Vice Defense Minister Takemasa Moriya that the
prefectural government would accept the government's plan to build
V-shaped runways on the coastline of Camp Schwab to take over
functions of Futenma Air Station with minor changes to it, sources
said yesterday. Now that Okinawa has conveyed its willingness to
accept the V-shaped plan on the condition of minor changes, the
situation might move forward toward a breakthrough.
According to the sources, Nakazato told Moriya on Jan. 8: "Moving
the envisaged runways to a point in restricted waters (within 500
meters from the shore) would be in the scope of the Japan-US
agreement. The anti-base group would not be able to block it." In
response, Moriya only said, "The government's plan cannot be
changed."
Meanwhile, Defense Minister Fumio Kyuma has indicated that he would
not have to stick to the government's plan, saying, "As long as an
agreement is reached among the US, the central government, and
affected municipalities, anything will do." Kyuma also said in a
press conference after the cabinet meeting yesterday, "There are
people who rule out any change to a plan once an agreement is
reached between governments. Such thinking is too stiff."
Whether or not the government can work things out with the US is
uncertain. A Defense Ministry official noted yesterday: "Okinawa's
suggestion for minor changes might serve as a settlement line."
11) Okinawa calls for minor changes in V-shape runway construction
plan
TOKYO SHIMBUN (Page 1) (Full)
January 10, 2007
TOKYO 00000061 008 OF 011
SUBJECT: JAPANESE MORNING PRESS HIGHLIGHTS 01//07
The Okinawa prefectural government has proposed to the Defense
Ministry minor changes in the plan agreed on between Japan and the
United States last May to build runways in a V-shape formation in a
coastal area of Camp Schwab in Nago as alternative heliport
functions of the US Marine Corps' Futenma Air Station in Ginowan.
Under the proposal, the runways would be built farther from the
shore than under the agreed plan but within the restricted waters,
the aim being to avoid obstructive moves by base opponents. The
Okinawa government's revised plan was revealed for the first time.
Okinawa Vice Governor Zenki Nakazato presented the proposal when he
met with Administrative Vice Defense Minister Takemasa Moriya in
Tokyo on Jan. 8. Nakazato asked Moriya that the ministry should
seriously look into the revised plan, saying, "Since our plan calls
for constructing runways in the V-shape formation and within the
restricted waters, it should be within the scope of minor change.
The plan is highly feasible because there will be no need to alter
the agreement between Japan and the US." The restricted waters are
under the control of the US military, and other vessels than US
military ships are not allowed to enter the area.
Nakazato also asked Moriya not to start such procedures as the
environmental assessment before a plan agreeable to Okinawa is
readied. Moriya stopped short of giving a clear-cut reply.
12) Yamasaki visiting Pyongyang attaching importance to dialogue;
Kantei infuriated at dual diplomacy
TOKYO SHIMBUN (Page 2) (Excerpts)
January 10, 2007
Former Vice President of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Taku
Yamasaki yesterday arrived in North Korea. His visit to the nation
is aimed at finding a breakthrough in the stalemated efforts to
settle such issues as North Korea's nuclear test and abduction of
Japanese nationals through a dialogue policy. However, the Prime
Minister's Official Residence (Kantei), which is promoting a
pressure policy, is reacting fiercely against his visit. Criticism
calling Yamasaki's Pyongyang visit dual diplomacy is mounting.
Yamasaki decided to visit Pyongyang because he is convinced that in
order to settle the North Korea issue, efforts for dialogue and
persuasion are necessary. Yamasaki has indicated his view every now
and then that the Abe administration is biased toward pressure, such
as economic sanctions. When he held a party in Fukuoka City on Jan.
5, he said, "The Abe administration has applied pressure until the
last moment, but the situation has not improved."
Yamasaki met with a senior North Korean official in Dalian, China,
in April 2004 before then Prime Minister Koizumi visited the North
for the second time. He has thus this channel for direct talks with
North Korea. In an effort to positively promote dialogue with the
North, he also proposed to former Prime Minister Koizumi to visit
the North after it test-fired ballistic missiles and carried out a
nuclear test.
With the determination to unlock the door for the reinstatement of
the dialogue policy, Yamasaki during his visit to the North this
time intends to confirm the validity of the Japan-North Korea
Pyongyang Declaration, which mentions settling the nuclear issue and
resuming talks for normalization of bilateral ties. He has of course
TOKYO 00000061 009 OF 011
SUBJECT: JAPANESE MORNING PRESS HIGHLIGHTS 01//07
ambition as a politician. However, most government officials and
ruling party members are critical of his visit to North Korea with
one LDP senior official noting, "His visit to Pyongyang has more
negative elements than positive elements."
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe during a press conference yesterday
expressed his displeasure on an unusually sober note: "Japan is
applying pressure on North Korea, including economic sanctions. I
would like him to act, based on this basic policy."
The prime minister is aiming at settling issues with North Korea by
strengthening pressure. His measures include independently invoking
economic sanctions against the nation for its nuclear test. He is
increasingly concerned that if Yamasaki makes a statement to senior
North Korea officials indicating that Japan would return to a
dialogue policy, he would be sending a wrong message, as a senior
government official put it.
In addition, the major principle is that the government is solely in
charge of diplomacy. If Yamasaki pursues negotiations with the North
without communications with the government, the North would seize
upon the lack of cooperation and take advantage of this.
13) Government plans to recognize India as nuclear power as
exception to non-proliferation regime, give priority to economic
relations
YOMIURI (Top play) (Excerpt)
January 10, 2007
The government yesterday firmed up its intention to cooperate with
India, a country that possesses nuclear weapons, in the civilian use
of nuclear power and to allow Japanese companies to participate in
such related projects as construction of nuclear power plants.
Specifically, Japan has opened the way for such projects by
announcing its support for the US-India nuclear-power cooperation
pact that includes assistance from the US for India's civilian use
nuclear power and recognizes India as a nuclear-weapons possessing
state. This is an exceptional step in the non-proliferation policy
of Japan, which firmly upholds the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
(NPT).
14) Minshuto to focus on social disparities in Diet session, with
eye on Upper House election
ASAHI (Page 3) (Excerpts)
January 10, 2007
Minshuto (Democratic Party of Japan) decided in an executive meeting
yesterday to define the regular Diet session to be convened on Jan.
25 as "a session focusing on the challenge of redressing social
disparities." Prime Minister Abe is willing to make constitutional
revision and educational reform as campaign issues for the coming
House of Councillors elections, but the main opposition party is
ready to focus on social disparities. The party plans to present a
disparity-correction bill that would include specific necessary
measures in hopes of underscoring its eagerness to address the
widening disparities in society in wide-ranging areas, such as
employment and labor, pension and welfare, as well as parental
care.
Participating in the executive meeting were Acting President Naoto
TOKYO 00000061 010 OF 011
SUBJECT: JAPANESE MORNING PRESS HIGHLIGHTS 01//07
Kan, Secretary General Yukio Hatoyama, and Upper House Chairman
Azuma Koshiishi.
Specific measures will be worked out under the lead of Policy
Research Council Chairman Takeaki Matsumoto. Minshuto plans to come
up with measures to redress the disparities in income and welfare
between regular and part-time workers. In an interview held at the
end of last year, Kan said, "Although a part-timer does similar work
to that by a regular employee at a low standard, there is a
significantly wide gap in (their wages)." President Ozawa
emphatically said in an NHK program on Jan. 7: "The ratio of
irregular workers to the total should be determined based on a quota
system. We will work out measures to provide such workers with the
same level of salary and prepare a proper social security system for
them."
Kan has cited specific measures to (1) partially freeze the law to
help people with disabilities be independent, which provides for the
10% individual payment for welfare services in principle; (2) raise
the deduction for public pension to deal with the tax hikes for
those who live only on pension; and (3) expand those eligible for
scholarship money.

YOMIURI (Page 1) (Slightly Abridged)
January 10, 2007
The state-paid senior secretary (57) to Lower House member Seishiro
Eto (65), former Defense Agency director general, raised funds
topping 100 million yen on the pretext of fees for subscription to
brochures, when he was a private secretary to Eto. In this
connection, it was found that almost the full amount of salaries
that were claimed to have been paid to two employees of Information
Service - 10 million yen a year, now disbanded brochure publisher in
Osaka, was actually paid as a salary to this secretary. The only
employees of the company were this secretary and his family members.
The secretary himself revealed this during an interview with the
Yomiuri Shimbun.
Since this secretary's stated salary was only 200,000 yen to 300,000
yen a year, chances are that the secretary in effect received a
salary from this company.
According to the account given by the secretary, Eto paid him
several million yen a year as salary when he was assigned to Tokyo
as his private secretary. However, because he established a company
when he was assigned to Osaka as Eto's private secretary, his salary
then was only 200,000 yen to 300,000 yen a year. However, he
insisted that income he received from Information Service was not
compensation for the salary he received for his secretarial post.
However, Takeshi Tsuchimoto, professor of criminal law at Hakuo
Graduate School, pointed out: "If this secretary earned high
remunerations for collecting brochure fees but received almost no
salary as a secretary, it can be said that the company was
shouldering a burden that should have been assumed by the lawmaker.
This is indeed a clever way of doing things. It is in a way a
bypassed donation. There is the possibility of such a practice
infringing on the Political Funds Control Law, which bans corporate

donations to individual politicians."
Eto apologizes, but denies possibility of bypassed donations
Eto yesterday held a press conference at his office in Saeki City,
Oita Prefecture. He totally denied the allegation that bypassed
donations were made and that collected funds were used to pay the
secretary a salary. He said, "It was my secretary's business. There
SIPDIS
was no wrongdoing in the practice at all."
