These enhanced legislative foundations should make cooperation between the US military and Japan’s Self-Defense Forces even stronger, and the alliance still more solid, providing credible deterrence in the service of peace in the region. Once these legal changes – the most sweeping in our post-war history – are in place by this summer, Japan will be better able to provide a seamless response for all levels of crisis.
因此，我们努力加强我们的社会的立法基础。强化的立法基础能让美国军队与日本自卫队之间的合作更加强大，让美日同盟更加紧密，为地区和平提供可信的威慑力。一旦这些法律变化——将是日本战后以来规模最大的法律变化——在今年夏天落实，日本将能更好地无缝响应各个层次的危机。
