FED'S HELLER URGES JAPANESE TO BUY U.S. GOODS A member of the Federal Reserve Board, Robert Heller, said he wanted to see stronger Japanese demand for American goods. "What I was advocating here was more Japanese purchases of American goods," Heller said in response to a question about the dollar's weakness in currency markets. He told a Heritage Foundation forum, "I'd be very happy to see that." In his formal remarks, Heller said he supported the idea of using commodity prices as an indicator for monetary policy. Asked if he would raise the issue at the next Federal Open Market Committee meeting, he said, "Even at previous meetings commodity prices were raised." He added, "I would not expect future meetings to be different from past meetings in that respect."
