Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
WASHINGTON, April 18 (UPI) -- The U.S. State Department confirms that the Bush Administration is relaxing its full disclosure demands regarding North Korea's past nuclear activities.
Spokesman Sean D. McCormack says the change does not represent a concession and has been endorsed by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her chief North Korea negotiator, Christopher Hill, The New York Times reported Friday.
Under the plan the United States will relax a demand that North Korea admit to supplying Syria with nuclear technology and will also postpone a requirement that North Korea immediately provide a full accounting of its uranium enrichment program.
The move is intended to help complete a denuclearization deal that would focus instead on North Korea's plutonium program.
McCormack says even if North Korea fails to fully account for its uranium efforts, the deal will allow inspectors access to all of North Korea's facilities in order to verify that it has stopped its weapons program.
