And, of course, Japan has still-unresolved issues from World War II with the Russians with the northern territories. After the North-South Korean summit, some in Japan and South Korea have insisted that the size of the U.S. forces in both countries should be reduced. While we all have the same hope, even those of us who wear the military uniform, for the resolution in Korea, it is not resolved as yet. It's only the first small step. So it is too early to talk about the future and for the date when the U.S. forces might be reduced.
Stability makes possible economic investment.
And economic investment is going to be key to solving the problems between North and South Korea. We watched this with great interest in the early '90s when the dividing line between East and West Germany fell. So, we'll require outside investment from many countries to help Koreans solve their problems. That requires stability and peace long lasting. We believe that, if the U.S. forces try to cut expenses, the Japanese payment for U.S. forces here may be curtailed more.
