Document shows secret U.S.-Japan pact on Okinawa reversion
WASHINGTON, United States - Photo shows copies of a recently declassified U.S. government document that confirmed the existence of a secret pact between Washington and Tokyo concerning the 1972 reversion of Okinawa to Japanese rule. Under the secret pact, Japan assumed the $4 million cost the U.S. was supposed to pay to restore Okinawa land to its original state as ''the classified U.S.-GOJ (the government of Japan) understanding'' and Japan has asked the U.S. to flatly deny the existence of such a pact to press inquiries.
