FROM THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS April 24, 1998RR-2390 We welcome the substantial policy measures announced today by the Japanese
government. These are positive steps. We hope the government will put these measures into
place quickly and effectively and move forward with further actions, including measures to
strengthen Japan's financial system and open and deregulate its economy, to help establish a
sound basis for long-lasting, domestic-demand-led growth. The whole world, including Japan's
Asian neighbors, has a strong interest in seeing Japan succeed in generating a strong domestic
recovery that will contribute to recovery in Asia.
