The President's News Conference

October 21, 1994

...Q. Mr. President, a question on the North Korean nuclear arms
accord. Even before the ink is dry on that accord, officials of the
International Atomic Energy Association are complaining it denies them
of a key right, that of special inspections. Doesn't this set a bad
precedent for other countries with nuclear ambitions, such as Iran?

The President: I don't think it does deny them special inspections.
It commits North Korea first to freeze and then to dismantle, something
they've never committed to do before and something they weren't required
to do under the NPT. It also commits them to ship out their spent
nuclear fuel, to get it physically out of the country so they cannot do
anything with it.
The question of special inspections, whether and when, is put off
from the present. And that bothers some people, but if you consider the
fact that the waste sites are not going anywhere, that the IAEA is going
to be in the country, and that we have a commitment for a freeze and
then a dismantling and that if they ever violate it they won't get the
benefits that they seek from it, it seems to me this is still a very
good deal indeed.
