Summary

Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) the United States and Japan should exert maximum efforts to resist the Soviet threat in the Western Pacific and Asia; (2) the President should seek an agreement with Japan that would increase Japan's defense spending over the next four years; and (3) if Japan does not take steps to meet its defense goals, the United States should relocate portions of its military forces currently in Japan to other areas of the Western Pacific and limit its expenditures for FY 1985 for U.S. forces stationed in Japan to no more than 75 percent of its FY 1984 expenditures for those forces.
