A excutive of the LDP mentioned about the promotion of integrated resort facilities law that "I will put this bill in an extraordinary session of the Diet. Now we have the security bill." For enactment of security related bill, a period during a parliamentary session has been drastically prolonged till September 27th but the headwind of public opinion strongly disturb a definite period of time for the enactment.
