DPJ thinks e-mail ruckus over, to pick Diet affairs chief quickly

TOKYO, Japan - Yoshihiko Noda (L), who will resign as Diet affairs chief of the opposition Democratic Party of Japan, again apologizes at a party executives' meeting on March 1 for disrupting the Diet by alleging that Livedoor Co. founder Takafumi Horie had in an e-mail ordered a payment to a son of ruling Liberal Democratic Party Secretary General Tsutomu Takebe. DPJ is seeking to pick Noda's successor as early as possible as it believes the uproar about the e-mail allegation has been settled with the apology by DPJ lawmaker Hisayasu Nagata and executives of the party.
