I think we at the Commission recognize, as we have over the years, that we always have to keep up with very dynamic changes in our industries that we regulate.
I would not trade an end to the war treaty or unless there is a denuclearization of sizable numbers of dismantling of weapons and WMD and missiles.
Well, success for me would be a commitment by North Korea to dismantle some--some of their weapons, missiles.
Perhaps a vaguer statement that says tensions are less and the war is over, OK. Maybe. But not as a tradeoff unless there is substantial denuclearization.
