Q At Saturday's two-plus-two meeting with Japanese officials, you released a report that included many compromises on U.S. force realignment in Japan.
SEC. RUMSFELD: Compromises?
Q And yesterday, the governor of Okinawa and other local leaders in Japan voiced strong criticism and pledged resistance.
So I'm wondering, is there further flexibility in the U.S. position or is this your final offer?
SEC. RUMSFELD: I don't think of it as a final offer -- or a not a final offer, either one. It is an arrangement that our two countries, our two governments have entered into. It's done. We have an agreement, we have an understanding. It's in both of our interests.
They represent a maturity in that relationship that's healthy and looking forward towards the 21st century.
