Six-Party Process Assistant Secretary Hill: "We’ve come once again to another important stage in the Six-Party process. The implementation of the second phase is getting underway now. There will be a team going to the DPRK on Thursday to begin the disablement. We have a number of bilateral measures underway that we want to talk to the DPRK about. I think things are moving ahead. We have a lot of work to do before December 31st, and we thought it would be valuable to be in close consultation as we begin the last two months of the year."
