Rep. Markey welcomes Pyongyang’s declaration of nuclear activities, urges continued monitoring
WASHINGTON, D.C. – As the Bush Administration announces its removal of North Korea from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list in return for Pyongyang turning over its long-awaited declaration of nuclear activities, Representative Edward J. Markey (D-MA), Co-Chairman on the House Bipartisan Task Force on Nonproliferation, stated that these developments would not remove the many existing legal barriers to transferring new nuclear reactors to North Korea. Some reports detailing the Six-Party talks over North Korea’s nuclear program have suggested that such a “delisting” would permit resumption of the construction of Light Water Reactors offered to North Korea in 1994. However, as a letter to Rep. Markey from the Department of State makes clear, even with the removal of the terror designation, many other provisions of U.S. law bar further nuclear transfers to Pyongyang.
