REPORTER: This Saturday, August 27, a meeting of the Reconstruction and Revitalization Forum of the Government and Fukushima Prefecture will be held in Fukushima City. There have been various reports about this in recent days. I believe this is an extremely important meeting. Can you share with us the thoughts, etc. of the Kan administration on this upcoming meeting?
CHIEF CABINET SECRETARY EDANO: Between the Government and the prefecture or relevant municipalities, it has been decided that a formal discussion forum will be set up according to the schedule you just noted. However, as August 27 approaches, we are now at the stage of earnestly working out the details as to what we will discuss exactly, and in particular, how much we can expect to accomplish at this first meeting.
