Panel Warns of N. Korean Threat By George Gedda Associated Press Writer Wednesday, Nov. 3, 1999; 12:29 p.m. EST WASHINGTON ?? The North Korean military threat to the United States and its allies has advanced considerably over the past five years, particularly with Pyongyang's enhancement of its missile capabilities, a congressional report said today. "There is significant evidence that undeclared nuclear weapons development activities continues, including efforts to acquire uranium enrichment technologies and recent nuclear-related high explosives tests," the report said. It added that the United States cannot discount the possibility that Pyongyang could produce additional nuclear weapons outside the constraints of a 1994 U.S.-North Korean agreement designed to ensure a nuclear-free North Korea. The study was carried out by the North Korea Advisory Group, composed of nine senior members of Congress. The group was formed at the request of House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., who asked for a report on North Korea's military capabilities. In releasing the report, the House International Relations Committee chairman, Rep. Benjamin Gilman, R-N.Y., said it was "inexplicable and inexcusable" that the Clinton administration negotiated a deal with North Korea in 1994 that did not block North Korean efforts to acquire nuclear weapons. There was no immediate comment from the State Department on the report. However, former Defense Secretary William Perry, a special adviser on policy toward North Korea, acknowledged in a report last month that "serious concerns" remain about possible "continuing nuclear-related work in North Korea." Perry's report also said that without the 1994 agreement, North Korea could have produced enough additional plutonium by now for "a significant number of nuclear weapons." U.S.-North Korean negotiations also led two months ago to an agreement by Pyongyang not to engage in further testing of long-range missiles so long as the negotiating channel with the United States remains open. But the report by the advisory group said North Korea ranks with Russia and China as "one of the greatest missile proliferation threats in the world." It based that assessment on the progress North Korea has made since 1994 in improving its missile capabilities, its record in proliferating ballistic missiles and missile technology and its development activities on nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. The report said North Korea has produced, deployed and exported missiles to Iran and Pakistan and now has a missile capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction on U.S. territory. "Currently, the United States is unable to defend against this threat," it said. ¸ Copyright 1999 The Associated Press washingtonpost.com

ole 49r, sure would be helpful if you researched the document that describes how a determination is made to whether or not an organization is or has been a political organization. Speculation and predicting and advising we all lucky can do in USA. For you to say that Bill Murphy has declared GATA a political organization based on him stating it so in a remark spoken thru this organization has no certification validity. What if Bill drank too much beer and posted thru GATA that the organization is a criminal organization type, should law enforcment invoke RICO and round up all persons associated with it ? NO. Anyway, what Bill Murphy spoke of was not a declaration of function, but an attitude derived from another type organization call political where he wishes that those of GATA would adapt. <<"I look at GATA as a political party. One does not have to agree with the leader, his ways, or all of the party's tenets but, as a generalization, one supports a particular party for bigger picture purposes.">> <<PRUDENT to try NOT to deduct GATA contribution as tax deductible>> Everyone with ears also has a mind to consume your advise. <<...after Gata's novelty wears off, and it is and will continue...>> Trust me, GATA's engine has not yet engaged its legal "tires", as the "clutch" is in stand by mode. All I know of Bill Murphy is thru SI and GATA and the Cafe, but if he wishes later to run for political office, then he is creating and making stuff a platform CAN BE created FROM. Doug
