MIYAZAWA SAYS MAJOR NATIONS ACTING ON PARIS ACCORD

  Finance Minister Kiichi Miyazawa said
  major nations are taking action to stabilise exchange rates in
  line with their agreement in Paris last month, government
  sources said.
      Miyazawa told an Upper House session the six nations --
  Britain, Canada, France, Japan, the U.S. And West Germany --
  are abiding by the Paris accord. The six agreed to cooperate to
  stabilise exchange rates at around current levels.
      Miyazawa said he wishes to attend a meeting of seven major
  nations (G-7) expected just before the IMF/World Bank Interim
  Committee meeting in Washington starting on April 9.
      The sources quoted Miyazawa as saying Japan is trying to
  prevent a further rise of the yen. Japan is taking the matter
  seriously, he added.
      Asked if the six nations had agreed to stabilise the dollar
  at about 153 yen, the rate prevailing at the time of the Paris
  talks, Miyazawa declined to give specific figures and said any
  mention of specific rates would create an "unexpected situation."
