Junichiro Koizumi and Bush

"He [Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi] said I want to make it very
clear to you exactly what I intend to do and he talked about non-performing
loans, the devaluation issue and regulatory reform and he placed equal emphasis
on all three." �George W. Bush, who had meant to say "the deflation issue"
rather than "the devaluation issue," and accidentally sent the Japanese Yen
tumbling, Tokyo, Feb. 18, 2002
