Waste-cutting panel begins screening, proposes end to projects

TOKYO, Japan - Spectators sit in to watch a key panel tasked with eliminating waste in government spending as the panel, divided into three groups, began screening targeted projects in budget requests for fiscal 2010 at a gymnastic hall in Tokyo's Shinjuku Ward on Nov. 11, 2009. The Government Revitalization Unit, created under Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama's new government, reviewed 447 projects for which allocations have been requested in the budget beginning April, and at the end of the session recommended an end to landscaping expenses and other changes.
