In formulating the draft budget for FY2008, we have avoided letting up our ongoing efforts toward restoring fiscal health, and maintained the policy of pursuing expenditure reform that was set forth in "Basic Policies for Economic and Fiscal Management and Structural Reform 2006," known as "Basic Policies 2006," by ensuring the implementation of necessary reform measures in areas such as social security and public works in the second year of this reform. 平成二十年度予算編成に当たっては、これまでの財政健全化の努力を緩めることなく、社会保障や公共事業など各分野において「経済財政運営と構造改革に関する基本方針二 ○○六」、いわゆる「基本方針二 ○○六」で定められた歳出改革を、その二年目においても着実に実現し、歳出改革路線を堅持しております。 - 財務省

As the chairman expressed his understanding, I asked him to give me his opinions and advice as to how we can draft a good bill based on the banking industry's knowledge of the practical affairs of the banking business as we prepare to enact the bill, whose formal name has not yet been decided. He expressed his willingness to do so, and as he is a quick decision maker, he proposed that consultations be started next week. For my part, I proposed next Wednesday as the starting date in light of our schedule. Several representatives from the Japanese Bankers Association, which is comprised of second-regional banks and larger banks, will hold consultations with our senior vice minister and parliamentary secretary. The chairman said, “As we will send several representatives to you, please listen to our explanations of the current situation and our opinions,” and we agreed on next Wednesday as the starting date. I instructed the senior vice minister to deal with this matter appropriately.
