PRESS BRIEFING BY JAKE SIEWERT
THE JAMES S. BRADY PRESS BRIEFING ROOM
1:20 P.M. EDT
Q: North Korea -- two things. One, can you describe for us a little
bit about the letter of ideas that President Kim sent along? And
second of all, can you tell us whether we should be expecting in the
next day or so some further declarations from the President on
progress of North Korea towards getting off the terrorism list?
MR. SIEWERT: Was there a briefing on that? Did I miss it? I must have
missed it. As you know, the President received a letter today from Kim
Chong-il outlining a number of ways in which might further the
exchange of ideas about how to lower tension on the Korean Peninsula.
I haven't seen that letter. I don't think we'll release it. It's
private diplomatic correspondence, but it's something we're examining.
We're taking a look at some of the proposals that were made in there,
and seeing whether we can build on the progress that's already been
made in the region, in the wake of the historic summit there in June.
We'll let you know. I don't know that the President will have anything
more to say about that, but I expect at some point, after the meetings
today and tomorrow, that the Secretary of State will have some more
detailed guidance about where we go from here.
END 1:40 P.M. EDT
