	Comments:	I think that works. I'm not sure the note is needed. I found a couple more titles translated as 官房長官 (through reverso).

	Comments:	I was just converting the "in Brazilian Japanese" note to a dialect tag. But it looks like it's used in standard Japanese as well. Do we actually need this sense? Presumably Brazil isn't the only non-Japanese country for which "chief of staff" is translated as "官房長官"?

	Comments:	I don't think the comparison with 国防省 works that well. 国防省 is 国防 + 省 and is applied widely. 官房長官 is very specific to Japan and is regarded as an abbreviation of 内閣官房長官, i.e. 内閣官房 + 長官. I'm not aware of 官房長官 being used to describe posts in other governments (I can't really comment on Brazil.)

	Comments:	My general point is that this position has other names in other countries, like how we deal with entries like 国防省

	Comments:	if this is needed (i'm not sure it is), then it should be a second sense
