QUESTION: Do you have any readout of the Secretary’s meetings yesterday with the Japanese ambassador?
I had heard she called him in to talk about Futenma.
MR. CROWLEY: The – I think the Japanese ambassador came by to see both Assistant Secretary Kurt Campbell,
stopped by to see Secretary Clinton. During the course of the meeting, the ambassador gave us an indication
that they needed more time to work through issues related to the basing agreement. We continue to believe that
the current plan provides the best way forward, but we’ll continue our discussions with Japan on this issue.
QUESTION: You said that – “stopped by.” You wouldn’t describe him as being called in on a --

QUESTION: -- day when the government was being closed and --
MR. CROWLEY: He was – I think – my – I mean, he – I don’t think he was called in. I think actually he came to see us.
Yes.
QUESTION: There were some reports in the Japanese press that the Secretary perhaps took issue with some comments
that the prime minister had made in Copenhagen. He said something like she showed understanding,
or basic understanding over the Futenma issue. Can you confirm?
MR. CROWLEY: I was with the Secretary in Copenhagen, and she had an encounter with the prime minister in the hallway
as they were both moving to meetings. I think they also interacted during the course of a dinner there hosted by the Queen of Denmark.
I don’t know, very specifically, what the nature of their discussions were.
Obviously, this remains important to us and we will continue to work with the Japanese Government on these issues
