“on a day when American men and women in uniform may go into harm's way, headlines scream of Kosovo. That is a concern, but there are also concerns this morning in North Korea. The Washington Times reports this morning, and I quote, ``Vital parts of a 50-megawatt North Korean nuclear reactor have been missing since international inspectors first visited the site under the terms of a 1994 nuclear-freeze pact with the United States. ``The absence of the reactor parts, which could be used to construct another reactor, was known by some State Department officials but was never disclosed to Congress.'' Mr. Speaker, on a morning when people may go into harm's way, the State Department did not notify us of this Korean breach. The Energy Department did not notify us of an espionage breach. We need straight answers from our administration and from our commander in chief.”
