A concurrent resolution to request the President to urge the Government of Japan to import United States coal.

Expresses the sense of the Congress that on the President's visit to Japan, he should express to Japan that: (1) action must be taken to reduce the current balance-of-trade deficit; (2) the reduction of the trade imbalance is critical to future U.S.-Japan trade relations; and (3) Japan should announce its commitment to purchase one-third of its metallurgical and steam coal from the United States.
