Meeting Scheduled on Economic Rival Plan: Economic officials will meet next week to review the impact of an emergency package to revive the economy. Finance Minister Tsutomu Hata will chair it. The group has met only once since the government adopted an economic stimulus package in March. The meeting will occur amid calls at home and abroad for Japan to take further steps, such as increased public spending or cuts in interest rates, to sustain its economy.
