UNITED NATIONS REPORT, FRIDAY, JUNE 17 (North Korea) (220) U.S. CONTINUING TO DISCUSS NORTH KOREAN SANCTIONS U.S. Ambassador Madeleine Albright is continuing efforts to obtain a U.N. sanctions resolution against North Korea despite reports from Pyongyang of a possible break-through following meetings between former President Jimmy Carter and North Korean officials, a U.S. spokesman said June 17.

James Rubin, Albright's spokesman, told journalists that she "wanted me to reiterate that her consultations on the Security Council resolution are continuing without interruption, appropriate, of course, to the seriousness of this issue and the deliberate haste that she has set out from the beginning."

Albright began discussing the U.S. five-point sanctions plan with council members two days ago. That plan includes an arms embargo which aims to diplomatically isolate North Korea in order to convince Pyongyang to open its nuclear program to international inspections.

According to Rubin, Albright met with all the other 14 members of the council before departing for Washington June 17.

Before leaving the United Nations, Albright told reporters that "we are doing everything we can to determine what has been evolving in Pyongyang."

"But in the meantime -- as the president directed me after a meeting in the White House today, I am continuing consultations on a sanctions resolution," Albright said.
