 Flashback: This Month in History
Prime Minister Sato told a meeting of party leaders late yesterday that he would "persopnally shoulder responsibility" for a decision on the co-sponsorship issue for the sake of maintaining co-operation between Japan and the United States.
Sato reportedly argued that Japanese refusal to co-sponsor the two resolutions might jeopardize ratification by the U.S. Congress of the agreement returning Okinawa to Japan.
Political observers predicted a bitter intra-party reaction to the Sato move, but it was unclear whether Fukuda would suffer from his identification with Sato and how much the co-sponsorship decision would accelerate party pressures for the replacement of the premier.
