President Hassan has stated that he considers these negotiations
-
a historic success and a new beginning for his country
-
and the entire mideast region.
-
I believe that that is a reasonable compromise.
-
Now, Mr. President, let's move on to the issue of verification.
-
The language in your latest proposal is vague.
-
Let me be clear.
-
My country agrees to abandon the pursuit of nuclear weapons
-
with full International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards.
-
But our terms, Mr. President,
-
were that the inspectors themselves would be American,
-
not IAEA.
