Prime Minister's Task Force for Promoting an Advanced Information and
Communication Society


The Japanese Government thinks it is critical that Japan cooperate
positively to improve information and communication globally along with
general promotion of policies to construct advanced information and
communication in Japan.  For this, the August 2nd meeting of all government
ministers established an advanced information and communication project at
the Cabinet level.


(Note:  The Task Force is chaired by the Prime Minister, co-chaired by the
Chief Secretary, Minister for Post and Telecommunications, and Minister for
International Trade and Industry.  Its meetings will be run by the Chief
Secretary and its members include all Ministers of the Cabinet.)


As we begin discussion about this project, we would like to hear the
opinions of people from all nations.  We welcome your comments and ask you
to send them via the Internet, which the Prime Minister's Official
Residence recently experimentally introduced.
