ACCESSION NUMBER:327182

TITLE:DEFENSE DEPARTMENT REPORT, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15 (02/15/94)
TEXT:*94021502.POL
DEFENSE DEPARTMENT REPORT, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15
(Eastern Europe, Bosnia, Patriots/Korea)  (330)
NEWS BRIEFING -- Spokesman Kathleen deLaski discussed the following topics:
SOUTH KOREA LIKELY TO GET PATRIOT MISSILES
The United States is "still looking favorably" on the question of
transferring Patriot anti-missile missiles to South Korea, the spokesman
said, adding that Seoul and Washington are discussing timing and details of
such a deployment.
The decision is being kept out of the effort to resolve the issue of North
Korea's nuclear program, said deLaski.  "I want to stress that in no way
should the deployment of Patriots, a defensive system, be seen as a
bargaining chip in the negotiation process.  We certainly don't see it that
way," she asserted.
