President Corazon Aquino said she plans to ask Filipino voters to decide whether U.S. bases should remain in the Philippines after 1991, when the present lease agreement expires. The Philippine News Agency said she told Japanese journalists in an interview that she will call a referendum on the issue after negotiating the renewal of a treaty with the United States.
