From page 2...
... 2 U.5.-Japan Earthquake Policy Symposium · there should be an effort to measure the success of the policy collaboration with Japan, there should be an emphasis on expanding the dialogue between the United States and Japan on earthquake issues, · cooperative activities should involve policy makers and researchers with comparable roles and responsibilities, · a single liaison office should be established in the United States to coordinate the cooperative activities, and · to be a full partner with Japan in the collaboration, there is a need for increased funding for United States earthquake programs.
