<c.vttBottom.vttWhite>Prime Minister： We need to compensate the
disaster-affected region for the issues</c>

00:03:10.060 --> 00:03:14.280 line:98%
<c.vttBottom.vttWhite>we have responsibility for，
including reputational damage．</c>

00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:19.080 line:98%
<c.vttBottom.vttWhite>Before that compensation begins to be paid out，
I hope we can do away with harmful rumors by</c>

00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:23.060 line:98%
<c.vttBottom.vttWhite>having everyone come and purchase goods from
Fukushima． The products here are absolutely safe．</c>

00:03:23.060 --> 00:03:24.180 line:98%
<c.vttBottom.vttWhite>Prime Minister’s Office Staff： Okay，

Prefecture is really going through hard times right now．</c>

00:03:44.020 --> 00:03:48.180 line:98%
<c.vttBottom.vttWhite>I think the most helpful thing that anyone can do is
to visit Fukushima and purchase its products．</c>

00:03:48.180 --> 00:03:51.010 line:98%
<c.vttBottom.vttWhite>I encourage everyone to take a trip to Fukushima．</c>
