4) Nagashima tells U.S. officials about MSDF pullout plan

WASHINGTON-Parliamentary Defense Secretary Akihisa Nagashima met 
separately on Oct. 14 with U.S. White House National Security 
Adviser Jones, Under Secretary of Defense Michhle Flournoy, and 
Assistant Secretary of Defense Wallace Gregson. In the meetings, 
Nagashima informed them that Japan will not extend the Maritime 
Self-Defense Force's refueling mission, which is being conducted in 
the Indian Ocean under a new antiterror special measures law, after 
the law expires in January next year, and that Japan will withdraw 
the MSDF. 
 
According to Nagashima, his U.S. counterparts consented to the 
pullout plan. He quoted them as saying, "Basically, that is for 
Japan to decide itself." Nagashima also said they expressed high 
expectations for Japan's plans to assist Afghanistan with its 
reconstruction. 
 
On the issue of relocating the U.S. Marine Corps' Futenma Air 
station in Okinawa Prefecture, Nagashima told the U.S. officials 
that there are various views not only among his ruling Democratic 
Party of Japan's coalition partners but also within his party. 
"Also," Nagashima added, "the political situation in Okinawa is 
unclear and we are facing a very difficult situation." The U.S. 
officials reiterated the reasons why the current plan was adopted, 
according to Nagashima. However, Nagashima did not reveal the 
details of their responses. He only said, "We need more and more 
opportunities to exchange views with the United States." 
 
5) LDP to include provision requiring Diet approval in bill to 
continue refueling mission, with aim of rattling DPJ 
 
YOMIURI (Page 2) (Full) 
October 16, 2009 
 
The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has decided to submit to the 
upcoming extraordinary Diet session a bill designed to continue the 
Maritime Self-Defense Force's refueling mission in the Indian Ocean. 
The party decided yesterday to include in the bill a provision 
requiring Diet approval before dispatching Self-Defense Force (SDF) 
personnel. 
 
Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada has indicated it would be difficult 
to extend the law authorizing the mission beyond its January 
expiration. But some Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) members are 
calling for changing the current policy on the condition of 
requiring Diet approval. For instance, Parliamentary Vice Defense 
Minister Akihisa Nagashima said in a speech on Oct. 5: "Japan's 
refueling mission should be extended by revising the existing law to 
 
TOKYO 00002384  004 OF 009 
 
 
require Diet approval before dispatching SDF personnel." The LDP's 
decision is apparently aimed at rattling the DPJ. 
 
The current new antiterrorism special measures law requires only an 
ex post facto report to be submitted to the Diet. 
 
The LDP has also started discussing the possibility of submitting a 
bill that will allow inspections of cargo on flights head to and 
from North Korea to the extraordinary Diet session. This bill was 
scrapped in the last ordinary diet session. 
 
6) Hirano implies postponement of decision on Futenma relocation 
 
YOMIURI (Page 1) (Full) 
Eve., October 15, 2009 
 
Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirano, meeting the press this morning, 
implied that the government will likely put off its decision until 
after U.S. President Obama's visit to Japan in November concerning 
the pending issue of relocating the U.S. Marine Corps' Futenma Air 
Station in Ginowan, Okinawa Prefecture, to the island prefecture's 
northern coastal city of Nago. "We will try to reach a conclusion 
before President Obama's visit, but at this point we do not have a 
solid answer," Hirano said. "We're now looking into the matter," he 
added. Hirano also indicated that the foreign minister, defense 
minister, chief cabinet secretary, and other cabinet members will 
meet to discuss the issue. "If we need to decide things in concrete 
terms, then we will of course do so among the relevant cabinet 
ministers," he said. 
 
7) Pentagon says Futenma relocation based on 
government-to-government agreement, announces Secretary Gates will 
visit Japan on Oct. 20 
 
SANKEI (Page 8) (Full)

Takashi Arimoto, Washington 
 
The U.S. Defense Department announced on Oct. 14 that Secretary of 
Defense Robert Gates will visit Japan on Oct. 20-21 and hold talks 
with Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, Defense Minister Toshimi 
Kitazawa, and other Japanese leaders. In the announcement, 
department spokesman Geoff Morrell made it clear that the U.S. 
government will not accept any changes to the existing plan to 
relocate the U.S. Marine Corps' Futenma Air Station (in Ginowan, 
Okinawa Prefecture), saying, "It is not an agreement between 
political parties but an accord between the governments of Japan and 
the United States." 
 
The Hatoyama administration has indicated that it will hold talks 
with the United States in the direction of reviewing the agreement 
on the realignment of U.S. forces in Japan, which was reached under 
the administration led by the Liberal Democratic Party. Touching on 
this fact, Morrell said: "We will make certain that the new Japanese 
government can obtain necessary information so that it will be able 
to understand the agreement well. The agreement will serve the 
interests of the two countries." 
 
A plan is being mentioned in the Japanese side to integrate Futenma 
Air Station into Kadena Air Base. During his recent visit to Japan, 
Assistant Secretary of State (for East Asian and Pacific Affairs) 
 
TOKYO 00002384  005 OF 009 
 
 
Kurt Campbell indicated that realizing such a plan would be 
difficult, citing possible operational problems and objections from 
local governments. 
 
The U.S. government wants to obtain the understanding of the new 
Japanese government by explaining that (the two governments) have 
settled on the coastal area of Camp Schwab after examining many 
candidate sites. 
 
Parliamentary Defense Secretary Akihisa Nagashima, now visiting the 
United States, held talks on Oct. 14 with Joint Chiefs of Staff 
Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen, and Undersecretary of Defense (for 
Policy) Michele Flournoy, among others. Based on the fact that there 
are calls in the administration for a review of the (Futenma) plan, 
Nagashima indicated during the talks that reaching a swift 
conclusion would be difficult, saying, "We are in a very difficult 
situation." 
 
Nagashima also told the U.S. side that there is a strong possibility 
that Japan will temporarily withdraw the Maritime Self-Defense Force 
(MSDF) from the Indian Ocean, saying the Antiterrorism Special 
Measures Law authorizing the MSDF's refueling mission will expire 
Jan. 15. About an alternative plan to aid Afghanistan, Nagashima 
said, "We are looking into what's best for the country centering on 
the civilian sector." 
 
8) Government plans to decide policy on Futenma relocation at 
Ministerial Council on Basic Policies with SDP, PNP leaders 
 
MAINICHI (Page 5) (Full) 
October 16, 2009 
 
In a press conference yesterday, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirofumi 
Hirano indicated that the government would hold a meeting of the 
Ministerial Council on Basic Policies joined also by the leaders of 
the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and the People's New Party (PNP) 
to decide what to do about the proposed relocation of the U.S. 
Marine Corps' Futenma Air Station in Ginowan City, Okinawa 
Prefecture. Under the existing plan, the facility would be 
transferred to the coastal area of Camp Schwab in Nago City. Hirano 
said: "A decision naturally should be made at the Ministerial 
Council on Basic Policies or at the Committee of Relevant Cabinet 
Ministers." 
 
The Ministerial Committee on Basic Policies is tasked with 
discussing key policies among the ruling parties. It held meetings 
on Sept. 28 and Oct. 9. SDP leader Mizuho Fukushima has revealed her 
opposition to the existing plan, as she said in a press conference 
on Oct. 14: "I will do my best in the coalition government to 
prevent a base from being built off Henoko (in Nago City)." If the 
government decides to discuss a policy on the Futenma relocation 
issue at the Ministerial Council on Basic Policies, in which the SDP 
participates, coordination is not likely to be easy. 
 
9) PM Hatoyama says solution to Futenma relocation issue will "take 
some time" 
 
MAINICHI (Page 1) (Full) 
 
Shinichiro Nishida 
 
Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama talked to reporters about the review 
 
TOKYO 00002384  006 OF 009 
 
 
of the plan to relocate the U.S. forces' Futenma Air Station (in 
Ginowan City, Okinawa) to the coastal area of Camp Schwab (in Nago 
City) at the Prime Minister's Official Residence on Oct. 15. 
"Elections for the mayor of Nago and the governor of Okinawa will 
take place next year, so the situation may change," he stressed. 
"Our main concern is the sentiment of the people of Okinawa." He 
also said, "We would like to come up with the best solution 
acceptable to the people of Okinawa, even if it takes some time," 
indicating that it will be difficult to reach a conclusion before 
U.S. President Barack Obama's visit to Japan in November. 
 
The Nago mayoral election will take place on January 24. The 
incumbent mayor, who has accepted the current relocation plan on the 
condition that the runways are moved further offshore, and a rival 
candidate, who advocates a review of the plan, have declared their 
intentions to run in the election, which is expected to be closely 
contested. 
 
The Okinawa gubernatorial race will take place in November 2010. 
 
Hatoyama's statement emphasizes his stance of arriving at a solution 
after discerning the Okinawan people's consensus and indicates that 
he regards the outcome of the two elections as a basis for gauging 
popular opinion in Okinawa. 
 
10) American father arrested on suspicion of abduction released 
 
YOMIURI (Page 39) (Full) 
October 16, 2009 
 
The Kurume branch of the Fukuoka District Public Prosecutors Office 
released with a suspended indictment on Oct. 15 Christopher Savoie, 
38, president of an IT company in Tennessee, who was arrested and 
charged with the abduction of minors (his own children). 
 
Savoie was suspected of forcibly taking away his son, 8, and 
daughter, 6, both elementary school pupils, in Yanagawa City, 
Fukuoka Prefecture, where his ex-wife's home is located, on the 
morning of Sept. 28 while the children were on their way to school 
with his ex-wife. He was arrested by officers of the Yanagawa Police 
Station of the Fukuoka Prefectural Police. 
 
Savoie and his ex-wife divorced in Tennessee last January, and the 
ruling of the Williamson County Court in Tennessee on the divorce 
stipulates that "either parent needs to obtain the permission of the 
other parent to move with the children out of the state." However, 
the ex-wife brought the children to Japan in August without 
informing Savoie. As a result, the court granted custody of the 
children to Savoie, and the local police had obtained a warrant of 
arrest for the ex-wife for abducting her children. Savoie has been 
asserting that he has the parental rights. 
 
11) Foreign Ministry, Defense Ministry request same amount of funds 
for U.S. force realignment for next fiscal year 
 
ASAHI (Page 3) (Slightly abridged) 
October 16, 2009 
 
In addressing the issue of realignment of U.S. forces in Japan, the 
focus of attention is on the planned relocation of the U.S. Marine 
Corps' Futenma Air Station. The Democratic Party of Japan's policy 
manifesto for the last House of Representatives election specified 
 
TOKYO 00002384  007 OF 009 
 
 
that the party will tackle the issue in the direction of reviewing 
the agreed plan. But the Defense Ministry asked for 89 billion yen 
for expenses related to the realignment of U.S. forces - the same 
amount as in fiscal 2009 - in its budget request. The amount 
requested by the Foreign Ministry is 3 PERCENT  less than the 
previous fiscal year, excluding 17.2 billion yen earmarked for the 
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum to be held in 
Yokohama next year. The ministry, however, intends to request more 
funds for measures to assist Afghanistan and Pakistan and to protect 
the environment. 
 
12) Estimate budget requests for fiscal 2010 largest ever, topping 
90 trillion yen 
 
YOMIURI (Top Play) (Lead para.) 
October 16, 2009 
 
Each government agency has resubmitted its estimate budget requests 
for the fiscal 2010 budget. The amount of requests filed by the 
Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the Ministry of Internal 
Affairs, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and 
Technology, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries 
have exceeded the level of the fiscal 2009 initial budget due to 
outlays for new policies incorporated in the Democratic Party of 
Japan's manifesto for the August Lower House election, including 
virtually free high school education and an income compensation 
scheme for rice farmers. The total amount of the general account 
budget will likely reach a record of around 95 trillion yen at the 
estimate request stage. The government has determined that there is 
now a prospect for achieving the goal to amass 3 trillion yen 
through a review of the fiscal 2009 extra budget, which is to be 
adopted at a cabinet meeting on Oct. 16. Focus will now be on to 
what extent requested amounts can be squeezed at a future screening 
stage. 
 
13) Government submits resolution to UN calling for elimination of 
nuclear weapons

Masaya Matsuo, New York 
 
The Japanese government submitted on Oct. 15 a resolution to the 
United Nations General Assembly First Committee (on Disarmament) 
calling for the elimination of nuclear weapons. Japan has submitted 
similar resolutions every year for 15 years since 1994 and all of 
the resolutions were adopted at the UNGA. Expectations about the 
elimination of nuclear weapons are growing around the world due to 
developments such as U.S. President Barack Obama's speech on his 
ideal of "a world without nuclear weapons." Under such 
circumstances, all eyes will be focused on whether the United 
States, which was continuously opposed to the resolutions during the 
Bush administration, will shift its position and approve this year's 
resolution. 
 
14) Takeshima part of "Japan" in world maps produced by Germany and 
France in 19th and 20th centuries 
 
SANKEI (Page 6) (Excerpts)

TOKYO 00002384  008 OF 009 
 
 
Research by Shimane Prefecture's Takeshima Reference Office shows 
that Takeshima, an integral part of Japanese territory under illegal 
occupation by South Korea, is marked as Japanese territory in world 
maps produced in Germany and France in the early 19th centuries and 
20th century, respectively. 
 
The maps reinforce the central and Shimane prefectural governments' 
claim that "Takeshima has been part of Japanese territory since the 
17th century." The cartographic evidence came to light when the 
Takeshima Reference Office examined in late September some 50 
materials, including world maps, belonging to a man in 
Okino-shimacho. 
 
The German map is believed to have been produced in 1872, and the 
French map between 1902 and 1904. In the German map, Takeshima, 
which is named Liancourt Island, sits next to Utsuryo Island, named 
Matsushima, with a border line between Utsuryo Island and the Korean 
Peninsula, indicating that Takeshima) is Japanese territory. 
 
In the French map, the names for Takeshima and Utsuryo Island are 
indicated along with the word" Jap" signifying that they are part of 
Japanese territory. 
 
15) Foreign Ministry puts off budgetary requests for assistance to 
Afghanistan, measures to curb global warming: Estimate budgetary 
request down 0.4 percent 
 
NIKKEI (Page 2) (Full) 
October 16, 2009 
 
The Foreign Ministry (MOFA) did not incorporate in its estimated 
budgetary requests for fiscal 2010, released on October 15, expenses 
for key diplomatic policy measures, including assistance to 
Afghanistan and measures to curb global warming, which the Hatoyama 
administration has begun to consider. Since specific measures have 
yet to take shape at the present point, the ministry drafted 
requests with an eye only to the fiscal 2010 initial budget. It 
intends to work out the details by the time the government adopts 
its budget plan at the end of the year. 
 
The total amount of general-account budget requests stands at 667.1 
billion yen, down 0.4 percent from the fiscal 2009 initial budget. 
Among official development assistance (ODA) items, cooperation in 
the form of grants stands at 157.2 billion yen, down 2.3 percent. 
Technological cooperation through the Japan International 
Cooperation Agency (JICA) is at 150.9 billion yen, down 3.2 PERCENT 
. 
 
MOFA has put off budgetary requests for assistance to Afghanistan 
and Pakistan, a 25 percent reduction in domestic greenhouse gas 
emissions by 2020 in comparison with the 1990 level, and aid to 
Africa. This is the major reason for the drop in the amount of 
budgetary requests filed by MOFA. The ministry's request for 
assistance to Afghanistan and Pakistan was no more than about 17.5 
billion yen, which is about the same level as the estimated outlay 
for the current fiscal year.

The government and ruling parties yesterday decided to convene an 
extraordinary session of the Diet on Oct. 26. The three ruling 
parties had previously agreed to open the extra session on Oct. 23, 
but their decision caused backlash from opposition parties and was 
changed. The session will likely run for 36 days through Nov. 30. 
Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama will deliver his first policy speech 
on the 26th.
