PRESS BRIEFING BY JOE LOCKHART
The James S. Brady Briefing Room
2:23 P.M. EDT
Q: Russia in the past, and now France today, have sent flights to Iraq
in violation of U.N. sanctions. What, if anything, is the U.S. going
to do about it, seeing as the sanctions seem to be falling --
LOCKHART: I'm not sure that I would reach that conclusion on Russia.
That was a humanitarian flight in the context of the oil for food
program that we received notice on. On the French flight, we did not
receive notice on, and we have already taken our strong objections to
the U.N. Security Council about the flight. And as early as Monday,
this may be discussed within the Sanctions Committee.
