Sakaiya to stay on as EPA chief

TOKYO, Japan - Economic Planning Agency (EPA) chief Taichi Sakaiya says July 3 he has accepted Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori's request to retain his post in the new cabinet to be launched July 4. ''I have made a bitter decision as I was asked to remain in office by many people,'' Sakaiya told reporters at the agency in Tokyo. Sakaiya, a bureaucrat-turned-writer, had earlier expressed a desire not to stay on as EPA chief.
