Japan Today - News - Japan, U.S. to give up plan to relocate Marines in Okinawa - Japan's Leading International News Network: "TOKYO — Japan and the United States will give up a proposed plan to
relocate part of the U.S. Marines stationed in Okinawa Prefecture to
the Japanese mainland because they could find no appropriate sites,
Japanese government sources said Saturday."

The plan, discussed as part of the realignment of U.S. forces in Japan at the working-level talks, was aimed at reducing the U.S. military concentration in Okinawa, where the bulk of U.S. military facilities in Japan are located. Any decision to give up the plan is expected to trigger protests from locals. (Kyodo News)
