Sato - LBJ
While hundreds of demonstrating left-wing students are arrested and injured in Tokyo, Prime Minister Sato depart for Washington. After talks with President Johnson, it's agreed the Bonin Islands will be returned to Japan while the Ryukyu group, including Okinawa, will be retained. A black screen reads, "Japanese Premier - U.S. Agrees to Return Islands." Japanese protesters march through a street. Student locks arms and sway. Riot police watch close-by. A motorcade drives onto an airport runway. A helicopter hovers in the air. Pro-Japanese protesters wave flags from a plane terminal. The White House lawn has soldiers standing in formation. President Johnson and First Lady Johnson greet the visiting Japanese Prime Minister and his wife at their car.
