U.S. to study Futemma relocation plans 'carefully,' Foley says

NAHA, Japan - U.S. Ambassador to Japan Thomas Foley speaks at a forum in Naha, Okinawa Prefecture, on Sept. 14, saying the United States will ''carefully'' study Japanese proposals on a possible site for the relocation of the U.S. Futemma Air Station in the prefecture. Japan and the U.S. agreed in 1996 to close the Futemma base, located close to residential areas in Ginowan, in five to seven years on condition its heliport functions are relocated within the prefecture.
