TOKYO, Japan - Members of the House of Representatives stand up at a plenary session in the Diet on May 15 to approve a set of three bills designed to give the government more powers to respond to a military attack or threat of an attack on Japan. The ruling coalition -- the Liberal Democratic Party, the New Komeito party and the New Conservative Party -- and two opposition parties -- the Democratic Party of Japan and the Liberal Party -- supported the bills.
