Confidential documents of Okinawa reversion on Web site

TOKYO, Japan - Copies of official documents that confirm a secret pact between Washington and Tokyo concerning the 1972 reversion of Okinawa to Japanese rule have been disclosed on the Web site of Japanese Diet member Kinya Narazaki of the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ). Under the secret pact, Japan assumed the $4 million cost the U.S. was supposed to pay to restore Okinawa land to its original state. The Japanese government has denied the existence of the pact.
