Let me follow through on a comment that one of you made, that there may be 20,000 North Koreans in South Korea as refugees.

the Japanese, broadly, have indicated that they did not pursue nuclear weapons because they had confidence in the United States

It would not appear to me that we have been particularly aggressive in our own policies or our own organization of this.

What if--I would ask of any of you--a situation occurs in which the regime succession does not work out quite in the pattern that has been prescribed?

First of all, is there any information on this matter coming from the North Koreans?

I asked the Congressional Research Service to evaluate the implementation of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1874.

There were some allegations, for example, that North Korean nuclear materials reached Syria at one point.

Well, thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

Well, I thank each one of you very much for your statements, that are a part of the record, and for your remarkable testimony and your response to our questions.

I would like to pledge to you--I know that many of my colleagues would join me in this commitment to persuading, cajoling, whatever we can do to put pressure, very simply, very bluntly, on the Pakistanis to face their responsibility, not…

I have had numerous opportunities to comment on the amazing life and Presidency of Ronald Reagan. He had bold ideas and the courage to see them through. He was the true embodiment of the American success story. I have often referred to the…

Hopefully, in memos and white papers, or maybe even your memoirs, you'll describe the situation that would be helpful to your successors.

Well, I'm glad you touched on the last point, because many American citizens would say that we have given a great deal, in terms of sacrifice, to bring Iraq to this particular point.

as Senator Lugar described, before Iraq will have meaningful new oil revenue.

Although the visibility of Iraq as a foreign policy issue has been reduced as the American troop presence has been drawn down, we will continue to have profound interests in developments there.

How great a success are the Iraqis having, or will they likely have, over the long term in developing their own capacity?

Our ideal for Iraq is that it becomes a stable, pluralistic society that enjoys a genuinely representative government, maintains a self-sustaining economy, and cooperates with the United States and other like-minded nations to resist…
