H. Res. 68
In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
March 11, 1997.
Whereas the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security Be-
tween the United States of America and Japan is critical
to the security interests of the United States, Japan, and
the countries of the Asia-Pacific region;
Whereas the security relationship between the United States
and Japan is the foundation for the security strategy of
the United States in the Asia-Pacific region;
Whereas strong bilateral security ties between the two coun-
tries provide a key stabilizing influence in an uncertain
post-cold war world;
Whereas this bilateral security relationship makes it possible
for the United States and Japan to preserve their inter-
ests in the Asia-Pacific region;
Whereas forward-deployed forces of the United States are
welcomed by allies of the United States in the region be-
cause such forces are critical for maintaining stability in
East Asia;
Whereas regional stability has undergirded East Asia’s eco-
nomic growth and prosperity;
Whereas the recognition by allies of the United States of the
importance of United States armed forces for security in
•HRES 68
the Asia-Pacific region confers on the United States irre-
placeable good will and diplomatic influence in that re-
gion;
Whereas Japan’s host nation support is a key element in the
ability of the United States to maintain forward-deployed
forces in that country;
Whereas the Governments of the United States and Japan,
in the Special Action Committee on Okinawa Final Re-
port issued by the United States-Japan Security Consult-
ative Committee established by the two countries, made
commitments to reducing the burdens of United States
armed forces on the people of Japan, especially the peo-
ple of Okinawa;
Whereas such commitments must maintain the operational
capability and readiness of United States forces; and
Whereas gaining the understanding and support of the people
of Japan, especially the people of Okinawa, in fulfilling
these commitments is crucial to the effective implementa-
tion of the Treaty: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Se-
curity Between the United States of America and
Japan remains vital to the security interests of the
United States and Japan, as well as the countries of
the Asia-Pacific region; and
(2) the people of Japan, especially the people of
Okinawa, deserve special recognition and gratitude
•HRES 68
for their contributions toward ensuring the Treaty’s
implementation and regional peace and stability.
