Japan's stance on Futenma intact despite U.S. senators' appeal

TOKYO, Japan - File photo taken in March 2010 shows the Kadena Air Force Base of the U.S. military in Okinawa Prefecture. Japan's stance on the existing plan to relocate the U.S. Marine Corps' Futenma Air Station in the same prefecture remains intact, despite the latest alternative offered by influential U.S. senators, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said May 12, 2011. The senators said the U.S. Department of Defense should immediately examine the feasibility of moving the Marine Corps' assets at Futenma to Kadena, while dispersing a percentage of Air Force assets now at Kadena into other areas of the Pacific region.
