U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
DAILY PRESS BRIEFING
DPB #142
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1999, 1:20 P.M.
(ON THE RECORD UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED
QUESTION: Is there any evidence that the Department has that Iran has sold SCUD missiles to the DRC? And if so, what are your concerns about the regional security implications?
MR. RUBIN: We've had concerns about arms sales to that region for some time. We continue to have concerns about provision of military assistance to the regime in Congo. We take very seriously all reports of transfers of missile proliferation concern and will be following vigorously various reports and taking appropriate action when there is evidence that these issues of concern - transfers of concern - have taken place. Beyond making that general statement, I'm prohibited from commenting on intelligence information.
