U.S. senator says Washington backs current Futenma plan

TOKYO, Japan - Leading U.S. Senator Daniel Inouye speaks in Tokyo on May 30, 2011. Inouye assured Japanese ministers the same day that the United States will implement the current accord with Japan to build a facility in Okinawa to relocate a U.S. Marine Corps base in the prefecture, despite a recent proposal by his fellow senators to scrap the pact and integrate the airstrip into a nearby air base.
