Senator Leyden and Senator Norris raised the issue of rendition. The American administration that will be dealt with on this issue is the one led by President George W. Bush, who brought this policy into practice. The transition of the new president who will be elected in the United States today will take place in January. I agree that all the measures that have been agreed can only be a gesture, but it is a gesture that reflects large-scale concern about the practice of a policy with which many people in this country do not agree. That is the reason the action is being taken.
