5. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR CONSIDERED SUGGESTIONS FOR OTHER SENIOR POLITICIANS ON WHOM I MIGHT CALL.
6. I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR KIND INVITATION TO STAY AT THE RESIDENCE. I SHOULD NORMALLY VERY MUCH LIKE TO DO THAT, BUT I FEEL THAT ON THIS OCCASION IT WOULD BE MORE POLITIC TO STAY IN A HOTEL WITH THE DELEGATION, AS MY PREDECESSOR DID.
7. MATSUURA CALLED ON ME ON 17 SEPTEMBER. HE IS AN OLD FRIEND FROM MY ODA DAYS, AND I HOPE I WILL SEE HIM AGAIN AT SOME STAGE DURING MY VISIT.
