Afternoon Door-Stop With Reporters at Six-Party Talks

QUESTION: (Inaudible)

ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: I didn't but some of the members of my delegation did.

QUESTION: …with Banco Delta Asia?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: As I've said on a couple of occasions before, this will not be a problem for the Six-Party process. I hope we can give you some details at some point.

QUESTION: Did North Korea say anything about it?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: We have discussed this, as you know. We conveyed some information to them the other day. This will not be a problem for our Six-Party process.

QUESTION: Do you know if the delegation met with the North Korean delegation? Did you hear any response about the BDA?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: Yes, we had a discussion about that, and I can't say much more right now -- except to say I don't believe this is going to be a problem in the future.

QUESTION: Are you thinking about the visit to Pyongyang in April?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: That was news to me. I'm not sure where that came from.

QUESTION: The Japanese TV --

ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: Was that your story? Because I don't know anything about it. It was news to me.

QUESTION: And regarding the HEU program, they want the U.S. to provide the clear, complete evidence. So are you going to provide that?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: Well we have to figure out how we're going to sit down and work on that. And if we can't have a discussion of that today - We're going to have plenary session today on the denuclearization working group, and perhaps we'll be discussing it tomorrow in the Six-Party working group.

QUESTION: Do you have a time to meet Mr. Kim Gye Gwan today?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: I think it will be tomorrow.

QUESTION: Any plan like meeting or having dinner with them?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: No, no plan yet.

QUESTION: Is Mr. Kim really sick this time?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: You have to ask him. How would I know the answer to that question? I'm not a doctor.

QUESTION: Will tomorrow be a big day for you?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: This is a session where we're simply looking at our progress and measuring - trying to arrange certain schedules. We don't have any big agreement to reach this time. It's not like the one in February. Sorry to disappoint you.
