She denied newspaper reports that North Korea had offered just a one time inspection and that the administration appeared ready to accept that in Exchange for cancelling its annual military exercises with South Korea. President Clinton also disputed the reports of a one time inspection telling a luncheon for newspaper columnists that to a the Best of our knowledge a the reports Are a not  Ven Tkv United states a were inclined to agree to a Muchmore limited testing schedule which we re not. Whatever we agreed to would would have to be certified by the International atomic Energy Agency As adequate a he said. The Agency has said a one time inspection would be inadequate. Davis said the United states would suspend the exercises scheduled for this Spring Only after the inspections take place and Pyongyang resumes talks with South Korea about guaranteeing that there Are no nuclear weapons on the korean Peninsula. Davis said the North koreans had agreed to the americans goal of allowing inspections that would continually ensure that North Korea does not misappropriate nuclear material at the Sites. But she stopped Short of saying that North Korea had agreed to multiple and regular inspections As required by the nuclear nonproliferation treaty. Earlier this week state department officials said that the North koreans had agreed to a one time inspection and that the move appeared to be enough to ease a 10-month standoff Between Washington and Pyongyang. One official had complained in private that the administration appeared to be backing Down because it wanted to defuse the crisis and because it recognized that North Korea was unwilling to make further concessions. Has fallen out of favor with . By the new York times Washington a president Clinton said wednesday that the United states had decided to reassess its support for Jean Bertrand Aristide the exiled president of Haiti. The remarks were Clinton a first a know Lodgment that the embattled haitian Leader has lost critical backing from the United states. In an interview with columnists at the White House Clinton said he still believed that democracy was possible in Haiti. But he said Aristide might no longer be its most effective messenger since the ousted Leader had a Public quarrel with Robert Malval. Malval is the prime minister whom Aristide selected to Lead a restoration of democratic government. Quot i think his Aristides own prospects Are clouded by what happened with Malval and where we go from now a Clinton said. A and that a something we re going to have to really sit Down and think through and  Aristide a Catholic priest was sent into exile after a bloody 1991 coup about seven months after he became Haiti a first democratically elected president. Over the past few months the United states has steadily backed away from its support for Aristide beginning when the Cia circulated reports in Washington that suggested he was mentally unstable. Clinton said it was in the interests of the United states to support a democratic government in Haiti and he main can Bertrand Aristide. On the outs with the United states Tai cd that a .-led embargo of Oil and goods to the Caribbean nation was having its intended effect. But he expressed concerns about whether Aristide although freely elected was equipped to be the chief Steward of Haiti a move toward democracy. A i would say if i were in his position i would have mixed feelings a Clinton said. A i would think that the conditions maybe were better for a restoration of democracy but the personality changes mean that we have to come up with some new idea some new strategy to make it work a Clinton has made frequent and pointed references to his Confidence in Malval who is serving As acting prime minister but who was stripped of any governing Powers by Aristide. The United states also chastised Aristide on wednesday for remarks he made in an interview with the Miami Herald suggesting that armed Force should be used to oust the military government in Haiti. Aristide suggested that an attack should be led by the United states and could be completed in a matter of hours. A they could do it a Aristide was quoted As saying. A a it a just a Small group of thugs a he said of Haiti a military government. Julie reside a state department press officer rejected the suggestion saying that Aristides remarks were a not  a your focus continues to be on the diplomatic Effort a she said. A a Aristides a remarks Are clearly not consistent with the thrust of our  Admiral to visit Hanoi Check Mia work by the new York times Washington a in another sign of improving ties the commander of the .

Larson a four Star officer based in Hawaii is to go to Vietnam on Jan. 16 for three Days to review the work of american and vietnamese specialists investigating the Fate of missing americans. Larson is also expected to meet with High ranking officials m the foreign ministry his visit coincides with the largest Field inquiry the United states and Vietnam have conducted together since Washington began sending investigators to Vietnam in 1988. The american team of 84 specialists including archaeologists and linguists intends to investigate As Many As 89 cases and excavate As Many As 13 Sites the Pentagon said. There Are 2,239 americans unaccounted for in Southeast Asia. Of those 1,648 were lost in Vietnam. The Clinton administration is moving toward easing the Trade embargo against Hanoi if the vietnamese government helps resolve the Fate of the service members who did not return from the Vietnam War. An assessment from a senior commander like Larson that Vietnam is cooperating fully would provide the administration with a defense against complaints that could come from veterans groups that oppose closer ties to Hanoi. As a candidate Bill Clinton promised that he would not lift the embargo until Hanoi made a a full accounting of missing americans. But president Clinton eased the sanctions slightly in september when he allowed american companies to bid for projects in Vietnam that were financed by International lending institutions.
