DC Briefings on Mr. Koizumi's visit

In a single day, June 27th, yes, that's tomorrow, there are four public forums, discussions or others you name it, are going to be held on Japanese PM Koizumi's visit to Washington DC. In case you are in Town, you can take a look, maybe not all of them, but at least one. I would recommend the first list, which is being held at CSIS with Micheal Green and Randy Shriver.
