TOKYO (AP) -- Japan plans to turn the tables on U.S. negotiators by arguing that U.S. government procurement practices in two key areas are even less open to outsiders than in Japan, media reported Sunday. Quoting unnamed government sources, the Japan Broadcasting Corp. (NHK) said government research of statistics compiled by the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade showed that the foreign share of U.S. government purchases of telecommunications and medical equipment are lower than in Japan. and NHK said the statistics indicated that while Japanese government purchases of foreign telecommunications equipment were just 0.6 percent of the total in 1991, the corresponding figure in the United States was even lower at 0.07 percent.
