PRESS BRIEFING BY JAKE SIEWERT
The James S. Brady Press Briefing Room
1:45 P.M. EDT
Q: What is the U.S.'s position on Iraq request to pay for oil exports
in Euros? Are you opposed to this?
MR. SIEWERT: I've seen some stories - I'll have to check on that a
little more, but I think any notion that Iraq has anything to gain by
cutting back its supply of oil is short-sighted. We've said that Iraq
has an interest in sustaining its level of supply for its own purposes
and that we should continue to work that program through the --
continue the U.N. program that governs the sales.
Q: What about the specific request for it to be paid for in Euros?
MR. SIEWERT: I'll check on it.
END 2:17 P.M. EDT
