Quayle Seeks Cooperation on Space
- Share via
TSUKUBA, Japan — Trade disputes between the United States and Japan should not stand in the way of greater cooperation in space programs, Vice President Dan Quayle said Monday.
Quayle and Japanese Prime Minister Toshiki Kaifu agreed that their nations will work together on a project to measure the effects of solar radiation on the Earth’s magnetic field.
The agreement calls for Japan to provide a satellite and scientific instruments and for the United States to provide equipment and launch the satellite in 1992, according to a joint statement issued by Quayle and Kaifu.
Quayle, who attended a luncheon with Japan’s Emperor Akihito on Monday, leaves today for the Philippines.
