Mori to step down after passage of FY 2001 budget

TOKYO, Japan - Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori responds to questions at a House of Councillors Budget Committee session in Tokyo on March 7. In the session, Mori denied a newspaper report that he had conveyed to top executives of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) his intention to resign after the passage of the fiscal 2001 budget through the Diet. A senior member of Mori's party faction, however, said the same day that the prime minister has decided to step down soon, possibly in April.
