WASHINGTON — Japan's Social Democratic Party leader Mizuho Fukushima said Friday she has submitted a request to U.S. President George W Bush urging him to quickly vacate and return the land used by the U.S. Marine Corps Futemma Air Station in Okinawa and other bases in urban areas.
Fukushima told reporters that the request, made through Michael Green, senior director for Asia on the White House National Security Council, also includes scrapping the planned relocation of the Futemma base's helicopter functions to an offshore airport to be constructed in the central Okinawa city of Nago.
