Thanks for the link, but it was to the current edition and I couldn't find the semi equipment article you mentioned. I got the 20-40% figures from the WSJ online yesterday, and these were hard news quotes from the companies involved, not "analysts" interpretations or estimates.

<<The projected cut of about 80 billion Yen equals about US $6.3 billion, or about one seventh of Intel's capital spending budget for 1998>>

Your figures for both Japanese spending and for Intel's semi equipment budget are not even in the ballpark. I suggest as a starting point, if you want to make the comparison, that you use Intel's recently announced figure of $5.4 billion in 1998 semi equipment spending, up from $4.5 billion in 1997.
